About Chelsea
Chelsea Durbin is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Kentucky who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma. She writes and talks plainly in sessions so clients can make sense of what they feel and take small steps forward. Chelsea aims to be steady and present while people work through hard moments.
She focuses on building better communication and stronger self-regard. That includes helping people with attachment concerns, feelings of abandonment, guilt and shame, and trouble connecting with others.
How Chelsea works
She also supports those coping with impulsivity, loneliness, and questions about sexuality or non-monogamous relationships. Chelsea uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize practical tools and real-world strategies to manage mood, reduce anxiety, and process painful memories.
She encourages a collaborative approach where goals are set together and progress is checked regularly. Her background includes six years of clinical experience as an LMFT in Kentucky. That experience has given her a lot of time working with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and survivors of sexual assault and abuse.
Chelsea combines sensitivity with concrete skills to help people move from stuck to more able to cope. People who meet with Chelsea can expect straightforward conversation, gentle challenge when needed, and clear action steps to try between sessions. Her focus is helping clients develop self-love, repair communication patterns, and reclaim a sense of purpose in daily life.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy
Chelsea works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses is trauma-informed therapy, which helps people process painful memories and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life by pacing exposure and teaching grounding skills. Another frequent focus is emotion regulation strategies that teach straightforward tools for lowering intense anxiety or mood swings, such as breathing, behavioral experiments, and step-by-step mood tracking.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Chelsea will talk with each person about their goals, current struggles, and what feels doable, then try approaches that fit. She checks in often and adjusts methods based on what helps most, so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use face-to-face work when deeper conversation is needed. Phone sessions or live chat can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is a concern. Text-based messaging supports short check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while still working on stress, relationships, trauma recovery, and self-esteem.
