About Marlon
Marlon Buckley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with eight years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with addictions, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, and sleep problems. He also brings experience related to first responder issues, veteran and armed forces matters, multicultural concerns, and prejudice and discrimination.
Marlon draws on practical, conversation-based methods to help people notice patterns that cause problems. He uses straightforward talk and concrete exercises. Sessions focus on skills people can use between meetings to cope with strong feelings, manage urges, and improve daily routines.
As an Army combat veteran, he often connects military experience to current struggles when relevant. He encourages realistic goals and step-by-step progress rather than quick fixes. People who meet with him can expect a direct, down-to-earth style that centers on what they want to change.
Marlon blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit each client's situation. That means exploring values, trying specific behavior changes, and checking how those changes feel in life. He helps clients break larger problems into small, manageable steps.
For someone worried about losing their temper or living with ongoing resentment, sessions look at triggers, thought patterns, and practical alternatives. The emphasis is on reducing harm and building clearer ways to respond.

How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction despite difficult feelings. ACT is useful for anger, low motivation, and values-based changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and replaces unhelpful patterns with practical alternatives. CBT often helps with anger, depression, and sleep routines. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on clear, nonjudgmental conversation and on listening closely to what the person wants to change.Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try approaches that seem to fit, and adjust based on what helps most. That means checking in on what's working and changing course when needed so sessions match the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel and letting people join from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions outside standard office hours, or options that avoid being on camera when someone prefers not to use video. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday routines without changing the therapeutic focus.
