About Rene

Rene Lujan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of clinical experience. He focuses on practical strategies to reduce stress, manage anger, and improve self-esteem so people can feel steadier day to day.

Rene helps people talk through anxiety and challenges related to mood disorders, including bipolar disorder. He also supports those dealing with family conflict and communication problems. His approach emphasizes clear steps and steady progress rather than jargon or long lectures.

He draws on decades in mental health work, including time in the military, which shaped his ability to respond to intense stress and adjustment issues. That background informs how he listens and how he helps people regain a sense of control when life feels chaotic.

Sessions focus on identifying patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and building tangible coping skills. Rene aims to create a judgment-free space where people can name their feelings and try different strategies. He keeps goals practical and tied to everyday life.

To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button and completes a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is handled after the match, and the subscription used for sessions can be canceled at any time.

How his approaches translate to online care

Rene works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on behavior and mood. One common approach involves learning concrete coping skills to manage strong emotions like anger and anxiety, with practice exercises people can use between sessions. Another approach centers on identifying unhelpful thinking and shifting those patterns to reduce distress and improve decision making; this helps with stress and self-esteem concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, current struggles, and personal preferences, then adapt methods as needed. Clients and the therapist review progress and change direction if something isn’t helping.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time, which can make regular check-ins easier to maintain. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can support steady practice of skills, brief check-ins on progress, and direct discussion of triggers and strategies that translate into daily life.
