About Marlon
Marlon Buckley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Kentucky. He is an Army combat veteran and brings eight years of professional experience to his work. He speaks directly and simply with people who are looking for practical help with personal struggles.
Marlon focuses on issues such as addictions, relationship concerns, anger, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, and sleeping difficulties. He also pays attention to first responder issues, veteran and armed forces matters, multicultural concerns, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
In sessions he aims to build an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. He uses approaches that help clients notice what matters to them and then take small steps toward those values. This often means setting clear goals and practicing new ways of thinking and acting between meetings.
People can expect a practical tone in sessions. Conversations are direct and focused on day-to-day changes that make life easier. Marlon encourages clients to try simple exercises and reflections to strengthen motivation and confidence.

How these approaches guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and practicing actions that reflect what the person cares about. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where the person leads the conversation and the therapist responds with acceptance and understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical strategies to shift those patterns for better day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels most useful and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during a lunch break or between commitments. It can also support steady progress through short, focused check-ins and homework assignments that are reviewed between meetings. Licensed professionals often use practical tools and exercises that translate well to remote sessions, helping people apply new skills in everyday routines.
