About Princilla

Princilla Ursery is a licensed professional counselor who helps people in Alaska manage stress, anxiety, depression, and many life transitions. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Her first priority is practical support that fits each person's situation and goals. Princilla focuses on clear, doable steps clients can try between sessions.

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people act in line with their values. Attachment-based ideas guide work on closeness, trust, and communication.

Her style is collaborative. She listens for what matters to the client, then tailors exercises and conversations to build skills and reduce distress.

Sessions often include short behavioral experiments, emotion regulation tools, and communication practice clients can use right away. Princilla understands the strain caregivers, people with chronic illness, and those navigating blended family concerns can face.

She also supports issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, sleep disruption, and compassion fatigue by focusing on realistic strategies and steady progress. With nine years of clinical experience, Princilla brings steady support without jargon.

She aims to help people feel more capable, reconnect with what matters to them, and move forward with clearer choices and better tools.

Online approaches that fit your life

Princilla uses the Gottman Method to help people notice and change unhelpful interaction patterns and to build better communication and connection. That method focuses on practical skills for managing conflict and increasing closeness in everyday conversations.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values even when strong emotions show up. Attachment-based therapy informs work on trust, boundaries, and repairing ruptures in relationships by looking at how early patterns show up today.

Choosing the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan so it fits your situation and preferences. Clients shape the work through feedback and real-life practice suggestions.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and teaching new skills, phone calls can be a good short check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging supports quick check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing encouragement between sessions.
