About Princilla

Princilla Ursery is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) licensed in Alaska with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on everyday pressures adults bring at home, such as stress, anxiety, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, and coping with major life changes. Princilla also addresses trauma and abuse, addiction-related challenges, sleep difficulties, and mood concerns including depression and bipolar symptoms.

Princilla uses several evidence-informed methods to help people make practical changes. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy appears in sessions as a way to clarify values and take doable action. Attachment-based ideas inform work around close relationships and long-standing patterns of relating.

In sessions she helps people talk through communication problems, codependency, commitment fears, and intimacy-related worries. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, blended family tensions, chronic illness effects, and challenges tied to aging or attachment wounds. Her practice notes attention to issues that often overlap, like co-morbidity and compassion fatigue.

Princilla frames practical skills alongside reflective conversation. That can mean learning emotion regulation tools from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, testing small behavioral experiments, or practicing different ways of asking for needs. She will work with each person to set goals and check progress over time.

Princilla offers services in English and provides care within Alaska. People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session through the online options button. Fees vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Princilla commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how early relational experiences shape current reactions. CBT targets specific thoughts and behaviors, helping people test assumptions and try new actions to reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and adjust methods as needed. The first sessions often include goal-setting and brief experiments to see what fits best.

The practical aim of online sessions is to fit work into everyday life. Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around parenting, work, and caregiving demands. Shorter check-ins, not needing to travel, or avoiding video when bandwidth is limited are common practical benefits that help keep therapy consistent.
