About Marlon
LCSW in Kentucky with eight years of clinical work, Marlon Buckley focuses on addictions, relationships, anger, self-esteem, depression, family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and sleep problems. He is an Army combat veteran and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his practice. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not work with international clients.
Marlon helps people address substance and behavior addictions by breaking problems into manageable steps. He assists with relationship and intimacy struggles by clarifying patterns and improving communication. For anger and mood concerns he draws on CBT strategies to identify thoughts that keep problems going and to test small behavior changes.
Using ACT, Marlon supports clients in recognizing values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. His client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so each person can say what matters and try new ways of coping. He also brings experience with first responder and veteran issues, and with multicultural and discrimination-related concerns.
Sessions often focus on practical skills: sleep routines, coping tools for cravings or strong emotions, and concrete communication techniques. He encourages people to start with one clear goal and practice small steps between meetings. Marlon asks new clients to use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the website button for online therapy options.
Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. If you need a clinician who blends ACT, CBT, and client-centered listening, he offers a straightforward, skills-focused approach.

How ACT, CBT and Client-Centered Work in Online Sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify their core values and take small steps toward those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It is often used for ongoing worries, low motivation, and problems that return after treatment.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical experiments to change patterns. CBT is commonly used for depression, anger, sleeping problems, and addictive behaviors.
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the client can describe what matters and decide on next steps. This approach supports people who want time and space to clarify goals before trying new skills.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try an approach for a few sessions, and adjust based on what helps most. That choice is based on needs, goals, and personal preference rather than a fixed plan.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, cut travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow working with a licensed professional from different locations within the same country without needing to commute.
