About Rene
Rene Lujan uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and mood instability. He is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of experience in mental health care. Rene writes and speaks plainly in sessions and focuses on clear goals clients can try between meetings.
He has worked broadly across mood concerns including bipolar disorder and disruptive mood patterns. He also helps people who struggle with relationship conflict, communication problems, and blended family stress.
How Rene works
Rene addresses attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and difficulties connected to adoption and foster care situations. Rene’s background includes long experience with service members and veterans, where he supported people facing anxiety, depression, and adjustment after military life. That work shaped his emphasis on practical coping skills and straightforward problem solving.
Sessions tend to center on identifying triggers and building habits that reduce reactivity. People also come to him for help with personality-related problems such as avoidant, dependent, and antisocial patterns, and for complex presentations that include co-morbidity or dissociation. He offers steady, nonjudgmental feedback and helps clients break large problems into manageable steps.
Rene provides multiple remote session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. He explains the process clearly, helps set measurable goals, and supports small changes that add up over time.

Therapeutic approaches and online flexibility
Rene draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping skills and mood regulation. One approach centers on skill-building for stress and anxiety management, teaching straightforward strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another concentrates on mood stabilization and handling bipolar symptoms through routine, problem solving, and planning so clients can better predict and manage mood shifts.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Rene works with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts techniques over time and encourages feedback so the plan evolves with progress and changing priorities.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow fuller interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a quick check-in option, and text messaging supports ongoing brief tracking and reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, and daily life.
