About Marlon
Marlon Buckley is an LCSW licensed in Kentucky with eight years of clinical experience. He is an Army combat veteran who focuses on helping people find purpose and move toward the life they want. He speaks plainly and aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.
He helps people address addictions, relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and sleeping problems. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills and honest conversation rather than jargon. The tone is direct but compassionate, and Marlon pays attention to each person's immediate needs.
His approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That combination is used to build clarity about values, practice new behaviors, and shift unhelpful thinking patterns. Clients can expect straightforward tools they can try between sessions.
Marlon has experience supporting first responder issues, veteran and armed forces concerns, multicultural matters, and the effects of prejudice and discrimination. He works to create an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment. Taking the first step is noted as an act of courage, and he aims to make the process as clear and doable as possible.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to someone and taking small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings that come up. Client-Centered Therapy centers conversations on the person's experience, offering empathy and reflection so they can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors to reduce symptoms like low mood or sleep disruption.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marlon will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest techniques suited to those aims. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, as current formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - it may reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules demand, or avoid needing to be on camera for every conversation. These practical benefits help people try therapy while managing work, caregiving, or other daily demands.
