About Princilla

Princilla Ursery is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alaska who helps people facing midlife changes and other difficult transitions. She focuses on real-life problems like stress, anxiety, shifting relationships, grief, and trouble sleeping. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at practical change rather than vague talk. She welcomes people who want steady support during confusing or painful times.

Princilla centers sessions on each person's history and current needs. She blends techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to teach new coping skills and shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas guide work on connection and intimacy concerns. Dialectical behavior strategies are used for emotion regulation when feelings feel overwhelming.

Sessions often include straightforward exercises, skill practice, and goal-focused conversations. Clients may work on improving communication, managing anger, or navigating caregiving and career pressures. She pays attention to how cultural background and identity shape each person's experience.

Princilla has nine years of experience supporting people with trauma, addiction concerns, ADHD, mood disorders such as bipolar and depression, and chronic health challenges. Her approach aims to build resilience and clearer choices so daily life becomes more manageable.

To start, she asks people to name their immediate concerns and what matters most to them. That helps shape a plan that fits the individual's life and pace. Her practice emphasizes steady progress and practical tools for lasting change.

How specific approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for coping with life changes, anxiety, and feeling stuck. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing thought and behavior patterns that cause distress, with practical exercises for mood, sleep, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationship and intimacy concerns and helps rebuild healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose strategies that fit day-to-day life and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Session format options are not specified in this biography, so confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let people access help while managing caregiving or chronic health needs. Licensed professionals aim to adapt tools and exercises so they work well across different settings and routines.
