About Marlon
Marlon Buckley is a Kentucky-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with eight years of professional experience. He is an Army combat veteran who focuses on helping people handle anger, addictions, relationship problems, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and sleep difficulties. He offers straightforward, practical support for everyday struggles and for the stress that comes from public safety and military backgrounds.
Marlon takes a direct, person-centered approach. He helps people name what is happening, spot unhelpful patterns, and try new behaviors that change how they feel. Sessions are conversational and focused on concrete steps rather than abstract explanations.
His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered methods. That means Marlon helps clients identify values, notice thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, and practice small changes that build better habits over time.
He also brings experience with first responder and veteran issues, and with multicultural concerns including prejudice and discrimination. That background informs how he listens and what practical strategies he suggests when anger, trauma, or stress are involved.
Starting therapy with Marlon involves a short matching process and scheduling a first session. He aims to help people make steady, realistic shifts in how they respond to anger and stress instead of promising quick fixes.
How sessions work
Online sessions that use ACT and CBT tools
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and then taking small actions toward those values even when strong feelings appear. It can help with anger that keeps getting in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a productive working relationship so a person feels heard while trying new strategies.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Marlon will work together with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals and daily realities. That collaborative process helps shape session focus, homework, and the pace of change.
Confirm available session formats before booking. When used online, therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it practical to continue work from a different location when schedules or commitments change. Ask about the specific session options offered before your first meeting so you can pick what works best for your situation.
