About Rene

Rene Lujan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of experience in mental health care. He focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, anger, self-esteem, and bipolar disorder, and he works with people who are struggling with those problems.

He has a long history supporting service members and veterans, and brings that background into work with people who have anxiety, depression, or trouble adjusting after stressful events. He talks with clients about clear, practical steps they can try between sessions. Sessions are straightforward and action oriented when that fits the person's needs.

Rene also works with people facing relationship strain, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and communication problems. He addresses personality concerns such as avoidant, dependent, and antisocial patterns, and helps people notice how those patterns affect daily life.

People with chronic illness, chronic pain, body image worries, or co-occurring mood or dissociative symptoms can bring those issues into sessions. He uses well-established, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help manage symptoms and build coping skills.

In practice he emphasizes clear goals, skill-building, and practical problem solving. He asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session so treatment needs and next steps can be discussed.

How evidence-based techniques translate to online work

Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques aimed at symptom management and practical skills. Cognitive approaches focus on noticing and changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and they can help with persistent worry and anxious reactions. Behavioral strategies emphasize step-by-step activity changes and exposure to feared situations to reduce avoidance and build confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the early work. He will review your concerns, goals, and preferences and recommend techniques that match what you want to address. That process is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking, since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, and allow quicker check-ins when a brief session is useful. If video is not convenient, discuss other ways to connect so sessions suit your schedule and circumstances.
