HannahLu Marchman Counseling Intern

​​

Hi! My name is HannahLu Marchman, and I am currently a Clinical Mental Health Counseling intern. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Public Relations from Auburn University and am pursuing my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at LaGrange College. I am working toward licensure as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) under the supervision of Cristina Lorenz-Hansen, MSW, LCSW, CFCS. I have a strong passion for walking alongside individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional weight of perfectionism, shame, and self-doubt. I have a particular interest in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and am actively training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a leading treatment for OCD. I draw heavily from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am passionate about empowering clients to challenge unhelpful thought patterns, lean into uncertainty, and reconnect with their values. My desire to become a counselor is rooted in both my academic background and personal experiences with mental health, which have shaped my belief in the healing power of vulnerability, insight, and connection. I strive to create a compassionate and nonjudgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their inner world and build meaningful change.
