About Rene

Rene Lujan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of experience in mental health care. He focuses on practical changes in thoughts and everyday habits to help reduce stress and manage anxiety. He also works with people dealing with anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar disorder, and challenges related to family roles and dynamics.

Rene draws on long experience to help people name what feels overwhelming and try small, manageable steps toward change. Sessions tend to focus on concrete strategies for everyday life, like shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and building routines that support mood and motivation. He emphasizes clear goals and steady progress rather than abstract theory.

His background includes military service and many years supporting soldiers and veterans with anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, and PTSD symptoms. That experience shaped an approach that values direct problem-solving alongside emotional support. He aims to create a nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult feelings and practice new ways of coping.

Rene is familiar with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and stress, including attachment and abandonment issues, personality-related difficulties, blended family challenges, chronic illness or pain, dissociation, and communication problems. He adapts practical techniques to each person’s situation and pace.

Evidence-based techniques and online care that fit your life

Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts and everyday habits. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Another approach emphasizes building small, repeatable daily habits and routines to stabilize mood and increase motivation. These methods are practical and aimed at changes people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or adjust techniques based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are a joint effort to test what helps most and to adjust strategies over time.

The therapist’s biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people try therapeutic techniques in the context of their everyday routines, making practice between sessions more practical and immediate.
