About Princilla

Princilla Ursery is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) who helps people in Alaska manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life transitions. She focuses on practical steps people can take now to feel steadier and more connected. Her work is grounded in respect and cultural sensitivity for each person’s background.

Princilla uses approaches that help clients clarify values and build skills. She often combines tools that teach new ways to respond to strong feelings with strategies that change unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-focused, with attention to what matters most to the person in front of her.

She has nine years of clinical experience working with a broad range of concerns. These include trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, sleeping problems, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and communication or commitment issues.

Clients can expect to talk through specific challenges such as intimacy, abandonment worries, avoidance, or codependency, and to practice skills between sessions. Princilla aims to help people build resilience, improve relationship patterns, and make clearer choices about their lives.

Her practice emphasizes understanding the whole person rather than only symptoms. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and works with LGBT concerns alongside many other life issues.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people identify what matters most and take small committed steps toward those values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and making life changes when someone feels stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and build new routines. CBT is often applied to depression, anxiety, sleep problems, and anger.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that match those aims. This is a collaborative process - techniques can be adjusted over time based on what helps the individual make progress.

If you prefer online options, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow a quicker check-in when needed. Some formats require less bandwidth or do not need video, which can help when schedules or circumstances are tight. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and bring changes into daily life.
