About Rene
Rene Lujan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 27 years in mental health care. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing mood disorders such as bipolar disorder and related personality or attachment concerns.
Rene draws on long experience in clinical settings and military service. His background includes helping service members and veterans cope with trauma, anxiety, depression, and life adjustments after active duty.
Background and approach
He aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult emotions. In sessions he uses straightforward, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations and build practical skills. He helps people identify patterns, try new ways of coping, and set realistic steps toward change.
Sessions are focused on what the person wants to address now and next. Rene works with a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety, including communication problems, blended family issues, body image, chronic illness and pain, and dissociation. He helps people explore how past experiences shape current behavior and relationships, and how to move toward healthier routines.
Therapy with him blends active listening and practical strategies. He encourages small, achievable goals and regular check-ins on progress. People who prefer clear guidance and steady support often find this approach helpful.
Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility
Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-based therapy, which teaches concrete tools for managing anxiety, anger, and stress, like breathing, grounding, and behavior changes that reduce daily distress. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed care shaped by his military experience, helping people process combat-related stress or difficult life events in manageable steps.Finding the right approach is a shared process. He will work together with each person to choose methods that match their goals, comfort level, and life schedule. That collaborative stance means techniques can be adapted over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits with his practice. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to keep momentum between sessions and fit support into a busy day. These formats help people access consistent care without long travel or extra time off work.
