About Rene
Rene Lujan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of experience in mental health care. He focuses on helping people deal with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder. He aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what’s on their mind and start to make changes that feel manageable.
Rene draws from long practice across many settings, bringing practical tools and steady guidance.
Background and approach
He has a background supporting military members and veterans through trauma responses, adjustment challenges, and mood symptoms. That experience informs how he listens, asks questions, and helps clients find paths forward. In sessions he works to identify patterns that cause pain and then tries out ways to change them.
He talks through coping strategies, communication techniques, and ways to manage strong emotions like anger. The focus is on clear steps people can apply between sessions. Rene also attends to issues that often come up alongside mood and anxiety problems.
These include attachment concerns, abandonment, blended family challenges, body image, chronic illness or pain, dissociation, and disruptive mood patterns. He tailors the work to each person’s situation rather than offering one fixed method. Practical matters such as scheduling and session format are handled up front so therapy can fit daily life.
He works in English and practices in Texas as TX LPC 68206.
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is skills-focused therapy that teaches concrete ways to handle anxiety, anger, and mood swings through breathing, grounding, and behavior changes. These tools help reduce immediate distress and build daily habits that support better mood regulation.Another frequent component is trauma-informed work shaped by his experience with military populations. This approach pays attention to how stressful events affect thinking, feeling, and relationships, and it helps people relearn safety, trust, and routines in small steps. It is often useful for adjustment problems and ongoing stress responses.
Finding the right approach usually happens together. Rene collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, comforts, and life demands. He adjusts techniques over time as needs change so the plan stays practical and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. Video calls let sessions feel similar to in-person meetings, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging give alternatives for shorter check-ins or days when sitting for a video call is hard. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to use the skills learned in real life.
