About Rene
Rene Lujan is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, and self-esteem issues. He also supports those coping with bipolar disorder and the ripple effects of family conflict.
Rene draws on long clinical experience to listen first and then set clear, practical steps forward. He creates space for honest conversation and helps clients break problems into manageable parts. Sessions often center on skills people can use between visits to reduce overwhelm and build steadier routines.
His background includes a military career, which informs his understanding of adjustment challenges that can follow service. That experience shapes how he talks about stress, triggers, and rebuilding daily life after disruption. He aims to translate clinical ideas into everyday language so clients can use them at home.
Rene also works with issues related to identity, attachment, and life transitions. He helps people facing abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, or struggles with personality and mood differences. He pays attention to communication patterns and control issues that make relationships tense.
For those affected by larger events, Rene lists coping with natural or human-caused disaster among his areas of focus. He approaches these situations by helping people stabilize routines, manage anxiety, and prioritize immediate needs while planning next steps.

How evidence-based techniques guide online work
Rene describes his approach as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for stress and anxiety, such as breathing strategies, step-by-step problem solving, and activity planning to reduce overwhelm. These skills aim to help people manage symptoms day to day and improve routine functioning.Another approach emphasizes mood and behavior tracking to identify patterns linked to anger or bipolar symptoms. Keeping simple records of mood, sleep, and triggers helps guide adjustments to daily routines and skills practice. This method is useful when the goal is steadier mood and clearer decision making.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. That means starting with listening, trying practical steps, and adapting plans based on what helps most.
