About Princilla

Princilla Ursery is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Alaska with nine years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and challenges like ADHD and low self-esteem.

Her style is practical and structured. She uses methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and existential approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions focus on clear goals, skills practice, and steady progress rather than vague promises.

Princilla pays attention to how life roles and identity affect coping. She addresses issues such as caregiver stress, blended family challenges, abandonment and attachment concerns, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication problems, and domestic violence-related effects. She also supports people handling career strain, intimacy questions, and compassion fatigue.

In sessions she helps people learn concrete skills - for example, recognizing patterns of thinking, practicing behavioral experiments, and building emotion regulation techniques. She also works on values, meaning, and relationship patterns when those are central concerns.

Princilla offers therapy in English and practices in Alaska. Her approach aims to help people develop workable strategies they can use between sessions and to set realistic, measurable steps toward their goals.

How CBT, ACT, and attachment work in online sessions

Princilla uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting clear goals, practicing skills between sessions, and checking measurable progress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and committed action; it helps people notice painful private experiences while taking steps toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and early bonds to understand current difficulties with closeness and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options and collaborate with each person to decide whether CBT, ACT, attachment work, DBT skills, or an existential focus fits best for their goals. Treatment plans and exercises are agreed on together and adjusted over time based on what helps most.

The biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow focused skill practice between appointments. They also allow brief check-ins or longer focused sessions depending on what the client needs. Licensed professionals can adapt materials and exercises to work effectively in remote appointments while keeping the focus on concrete skills and measurable steps.
