Rene Lujan, LPC

Rene Lujan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, family concerns, and bipolar disorder. He aims to make the first step feel manageable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.

Rene draws on long clinical experience to help people talk through what is happening now. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps - naming problems, learning coping strategies, and testing small changes. He listens for what gets in the way of daily functioning and helps clients build habits that support goals.

Many clients bring complicated histories, such as attachment wounds, adoption and foster care questions, or trauma-related dissociation. Rene also works with issues like communication breakdowns, blended family concerns, chronic illness or pain, and personality-related patterns that cause repeated conflict. He aims to make these topics easier to talk about and understand.

Rene’s background includes long service in the military before moving into civilian mental health work. That experience shaped his approach to clear, direct problem-solving and attention to real-world pressures. He offers steady, nonjudgmental guidance as people explore change.

To begin, Rene asks clients to identify a few concrete goals. From there he helps design steps that fit their daily life and pace. He encourages practical progress rather than quick fixes, and supports continued work as challenges evolve.

Evidence-based techniques for paced online work

Rene uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches coping strategies for anxiety, anger, and mood regulation; this involves learning tools to manage reactions and practicing them between sessions. Another approach emphasizes problem-solving and behavior changes, helping people identify small steps that reduce stress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and lifestyle. That means starting with what matters most to the client, testing a method for a few sessions, and adjusting as needed so the work stays useful.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when problems arise. Some clients prefer shorter sessions for day-of check-ins or nonvisual phone conversations when less bandwidth is needed. The emphasis is on practical ways to make therapy part of everyday life rather than on a single model of delivery.
