About Rene

Rene Lujan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of experience in mental health care. He works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, anger, self-esteem issues, and bipolar disorder. His background includes long-term clinical work and work with military populations during his career.

He focuses on practical steps people can take when strong feelings get in the way of daily life. Sessions look at patterns that keep someone stuck, and then try ways to change those patterns. He helps clients talk through conflict, manage anger, and rebuild confidence after setbacks.

Rene draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address mood concerns and personality-related difficulties. He also supports people dealing with attachment questions, abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, and dissociation. He works with problems that overlap, such as co-morbidity and chronic illness that affect mood and functioning.

His military background informs how he approaches anxiety, adjustment, and stress that come from high-demand environments. That experience shapes how he listens and how he structures care for people who have had intense life events. He offers straightforward feedback and actionable steps during sessions.

Sessions are conducted in English from Texas. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people are asked to use the site button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions

Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques in his work. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and testing small changes. This approach helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, and mood-related problems by giving concrete skills to try between sessions.

Another useful method he draws on concentrates on emotional regulation and managing intense feelings like anger or overwhelming shame. It teaches strategies for calming the body and shifting attention so strong emotions are less disruptive to daily life. These tools can be helpful when mood swings or stress interfere with routine tasks.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss different methods, consider the client’s needs and preferences, and collaboratively decide what to try first. Adjustments are made as progress and goals become clearer.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce commute time, or allow for shorter check-ins when that suits someone’s schedule. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques to work over video or phone, and the therapist will explain how sessions will be structured when arranging the first meeting.
