Marlon Buckley

Marlon Buckley is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with eight years of practice. He draws on his background as an Army combat veteran to connect with people who are trying to find purpose and build better habits. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for someone feeling stuck or unsure.

He focuses on practical concerns such as addictions, anger, low self-esteem, depression, relationship troubles, sleep problems, trauma and abuse, and intimacy-related issues. He also brings attention to first responder and veteran issues, multicultural concerns, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Sessions are set up so people can speak openly without judgment.

Marlon uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in his work. He helps people clarify values, notice unhelpful thinking patterns, and practice small changes that add up. He will collaborate with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals.

His background as a veteran informs how he talks about motivation, confidence, and purpose. He aims to meet people where they are and build coping skills that feel useful day to day. The tone in sessions is direct, respectful, and focused on what the client wants to change.

How Marlon’s Approaches Work in Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings show up. It can be useful for anger, low motivation, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental listening stance where the client guides the pace and topics of work. This approach supports building trust and self-confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns that feed distress and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful behaviors and reactions, which can help with depression, sleep issues, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust them as progress is made.

Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for focused check-ins that match a person’s schedule. It can also let someone choose shorter or longer sessions depending on what works best for day-to-day life. Licensed professionals can tailor the mix of ACT, client-centered work, and CBT to the practical needs you bring to therapy.
