About Chelsea
Chelsea Durbin is a Kentucky licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma and abuse. Chelsea also focuses on issues such as self-esteem, attachment and life purpose.
She uses straightforward conversation to help people sort through painful feelings and confusing choices.

Chelsea helps people consider values and next steps when they feel stuck after changes in work, relationships, or health. She talks through ways to rebuild self-love, practice forgiveness, and explore sexuality or consensual non-monogamy concerns. The focus is often on small, doable shifts that make daily life more manageable.
Her approach is trauma-informed and collaborative. She works with clients to identify goals, notice unhelpful habits, and try out new ways of relating. Progress is paced to what each person can handle in the moment.
Chelsea practices in Kentucky and conducts sessions in English. For people curious about addressing abandonment, impulse control, loneliness, or finding life purpose, she offers a clear, pragmatic style aimed at moving forward step by step.
How therapeutic approaches translate to remote sessions
Chelsea describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on processing trauma and improving relationship patterns. Trauma-informed methods help people name and work through distressing memories and reactions, aiming to reduce their impact on daily life. Approaches that address attachment and communication look at how past relationships shape current expectations and teach concrete ways to speak and listen differently.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chelsea will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps prioritize what to try first and how to pace the work so it feels doable.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time and allowing meetings during breaks or from other locations. Some formats use video for fuller communication, while phone sessions can be useful when screen time is difficult or bandwidth is limited. Chelsea aims to match the format and methods to what helps the client make steady progress.
