Rene Lujan, LPC

Rene Lujan is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 27 years of experience in mental health care. He practices in Texas and helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and bipolar-related concerns. He works with adults to address relationship patterns and life transitions tied to emotional health.

Rene draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people talk through difficult feelings and build practical coping skills. Sessions focus on improving communication, managing mood swings, and reducing the daily impact of stress. He also supports those dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability who want strategies to feel more in control.

With a military background, he has particular experience listening to veterans and others who faced combat or military life transitions. That history shapes how he approaches trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, hypervigilance, and adjustment struggles. He aims to create a steady, nonjudgmental space for people to explore their reactions and choices.

Rene pays attention to attachment, abandonment, and identity concerns that can underlie recurring patterns. He helps people untangle communication problems, control issues, and difficulties linked to adoption and foster care experiences. Practical tools and steady guidance are central to his approach.

People who choose him can expect clear goals, focused work on symptoms, and an emphasis on skills that transfer to daily life. To begin, readers are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to therapist availability.

How therapeutic techniques translate to online work

Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and symptom relief. One common approach is practical skills training - breaking problems into smaller steps and teaching coping strategies for anxiety, anger, or mood swings. This helps people use tools between sessions and measure small changes. Another common element is trauma-informed listening, shaped by his military experience; this involves careful pacing, grounding exercises, and gradual processing of difficult memories or adjustment issues.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques that fit the client's needs, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused and useful.

The biography does not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing flexible scheduling. It can also support shorter check-ins when days are tight or allow phone or video choices that match energy levels and comfort with being on camera.
