About Rene
Rene Lujan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 27 years of experience in mental health care. He works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, and bipolar disorder. He also helps people dealing with mood and personality challenges and the effects of trauma from military service.
He draws on long clinical experience and practical methods to help people notice patterns that lead to heated reactions. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps: recognizing triggers, slowing escalation, and practicing different responses. The aim is better control over temper and less fallout at home and work.
Rene's background includes service in the military and years supporting service members and veterans with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and adjustment problems. That history shapes how he talks about stress, discipline, and recovery in everyday terms. He listens for how past experiences feed current anger or mood swings.
In the room he prefers straightforward, skills-based work. Conversations include role plays, behavior changes, and checking what actually helps between sessions. He explains concepts plainly and gives homework people can use right away.
People who choose him often want practical tools rather than long theory talks. He asks about what matters most to the client and builds short-term plans aimed at measurable change. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling begins by completing a short matching questionnaire.
How evidence-based approaches are used online
Rene works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills people can use right away. One common approach is behaviorally focused work that looks at what triggers angry reactions and then builds specific alternative responses. This helps with workplace frustration, family arguments, and daily irritations.Another frequently used approach involves mood regulation strategies drawn from established methods to reduce intense emotional swings. These techniques teach pacing, breathing, and short exercises to lower arousal and make clearer decisions. They are useful for people managing bipolar symptoms alongside anger or for those who react strongly under stress.
Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit the client’s goals, current problems, and preferences. That choice can change as progress is made and new challenges appear.
If you plan to use online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can tailor session length and focus to fit work breaks, quieter windows in a day, or practical needs without promising a specific format.
