About Marlon
Marlon Buckley uses a blend of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide people toward clearer goals and better daily functioning. He is a Kentucky-licensed LCSW with eight years of clinical experience. Marlon brings a direct, down-to-earth style to sessions and focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
Marlon has a background as an Army combat veteran and draws on that experience when helping people reconnect with purpose and motivation.
How Marlon works
He helps clients who are dealing with addictions, depression, anger, sleep problems, and intimacy-related issues. Relationship concerns, family stress, and trauma and abuse are also common topics explored in his work. Sessions emphasize a nonjudgmental, open atmosphere where clients can speak honestly about thoughts and feelings.
Marlon helps people identify values, build clearer habits, and practice simple behavioral changes. He aims to keep conversations straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. He has additional experience addressing first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, multicultural challenges, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination.
Marlon uses these perspectives to better understand each person’s context and to tailor practical strategies. Starting therapy is presented as a step-by-step process. Marlon supports clients as they set realistic goals, learn new coping skills, and adjust plans when needed.
The approach is collaborative and grounded in everyday language rather than clinical jargon.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify personal values, and take committed action toward those values. It is often used for issues like depression, anxiety, and low motivation by focusing on what matters most to an individual rather than only changing thoughts.Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's perspective and strengths. The therapist listens without judgment and reflects back what they hear, which can help people feel understood and more willing to try new behaviors.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new ways of coping with anger, sleep problems, or relationship stress.
Marlon approaches finding the right method as a collaboration. He will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before, then suggest approaches to try. Together they fine tune strategies and adapt the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls offer face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, frequent touchpoints, and a variety of ways to practice new skills.
