Chelsea Durbin, LMFT

Chelsea Durbin is a Kentucky-based licensed therapist and an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - who offers supportive, evidence-informed care for people navigating emotional and relational challenges. With six years of experience, she specializes in addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, trauma recovery, and related concerns such as self-esteem, isolation, and mood disorders. She works with young adults, women, and survivors of sexual assault, drawing on trauma-informed practices and a strengths-based orientation to help clients rebuild a sense of agency and purpose.

Chelsea emphasizes practical, collaborative strategies that support self-love, improved communication, and healthier attachment patterns. Her approach honors each person’s unique story while also focusing on tangible tools for coping and growth. Clients can expect an affirming environment that balances empathy with goal-focused work, whether they are processing grief, managing symptoms of post-traumatic stress, or exploring complex relationship structures such as polyamory and non-monogamy.

Throughout her practice, Chelsea aims to walk alongside clients as they develop resilience, process difficult emotions, and create meaningful change. She integrates trauma-informed care with evidence-based techniques to tailor treatment to each individual’s needs, preferences, and life circumstances.

Trauma-Informed and Attachment-Focused Online Care

Chelsea uses trauma-informed approaches that prioritize safety, pacing, and an understanding of how past experiences shape present responses. This work helps people process traumatic events and reduce the ways trauma affects mood, relationships, and daily functioning.

She also uses attachment-focused strategies to help clients explore relationship patterns, repair communication breakdowns, and build more secure connections. These techniques are useful for those dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, or difficulties within partnerships and non-monogamous arrangements.

All approaches are evidence-informed and tailored to each person’s needs, blending practical skills with reflective work to address issues like anxiety, depression, and self-esteem. Chelsea collaborates with clients to identify which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Chelsea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options for different schedules and comfort levels. Remote sessions make it easier to attend consistently, integrate strategies into daily life, and maintain momentum toward emotional well-being with a licensed professional.
