About Marlon

Marlon Buckley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Kentucky with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on addictions, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, family issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, and sleep difficulties. He also pays attention to first responder and veteran issues, multicultural concerns, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination.

He draws on straightforward conversations to help people clarify what matters to them. Sessions often look at patterns that keep problems repeating and small, practical changes that reduce distress. He uses methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide that work.

Marlon is an Army combat veteran, which informs his approach to veteran and armed forces issues. He listens for how past experiences shape current reactions, and he helps people notice what gets in the way of daily functioning. He aims to make sessions focused and concrete rather than abstract.

In meetings he encourages honest talk about thoughts and feelings. He works to build straightforward tools for handling anger, cravings, low mood, and relationship conflicts. Sleep and intimacy concerns are addressed with practical steps and ongoing feedback.

Getting started involves completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary by location. Sessions are offered in English and Marlon does not take international clients at this time.

BHow sessions work

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and motivation problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a nonjudgmental conversation where the person sets the pace and topics; it supports exploration of self-worth and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and changing behaviors through practical exercises and homework, which can help with anger, addiction cravings, and sleep issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Marlon will discuss these approaches with each person and decide together which methods fit the problem, goals, and preferences. That collaborative planning helps shape the focus of early sessions and the kinds of tasks or exercises used between meetings.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other daily responsibilities. They also allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce travel time, and let people use quieter surroundings or lower-bandwidth options depending on what works best for them.
