About Princilla

Princilla Ursery is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Alaska with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, addiction, and related struggles. Princilla speaks English and offers counseling from an adult-focused perspective that centers practical steps and clear communication.

Her sessions aim to untangle everyday problems and strong emotions. She helps people notice patterns that lead to repeated conflict or burnout. That often includes looking at how attachment, past hurts, and current stress shape reactions and relationships.

Princilla draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to change unhelpful thinking and on acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and actions. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and grounding skills. These methods are presented plainly so clients can try them between meetings.

In conversations she emphasizes concrete skills for handling anger, improving communication, and managing anxiety or mood shifts. Work may include rehearsing hard conversations, planning smaller behavior changes, and building routines that support sleep and mood.

Her practice pays attention to cultural background and to how life transitions affect wellbeing. People looking for someone who will talk through difficult feelings, set manageable goals, and practice useful skills may find this approach practical and direct.

How her approaches translate to online work

Princilla commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on identifying what matters to you and taking small steps that match those values while learning to notice painful thoughts without being driven by them. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaches clear strategies to change them.

She also brings in skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when emotion regulation or intense reactions are part of the picture. DBT-style techniques include short grounding exercises, breathing or distress-tolerance tools, and stepwise ways to reduce reactivity during heated moments.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try strategies, and adjust methods based on what feels helpful. That means practical experiments and regular check-ins to see what is working.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session would be difficult. They also let people practice skills in the settings where problems arise, which can make learning more immediately useful.
