About Princilla

Princilla Ursery, LPC, works with people facing strong emotions and life changes. She helps those dealing with stress, anger, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family tensions. Her style is direct and compassionate, aiming to make therapy practical and understandable for everyday life.

Princilla focuses on what matters most to each person. Sessions often include learning skills to manage intense feelings, improving communication, and building routines that support steady progress. She uses clear tools from evidence-based approaches to help clients handle setbacks and move forward.

Her practice pays attention to how past attachment and trauma shape current reactions. This helps people understand why anger or avoidance show up and what to do about them. Princilla also helps with issues like grief, addiction concerns, sleep disruption, caregiver stress, and career strain.

With nine years of clinical work in Alaska, she combines practical therapy methods with attention to cultural and personal context. She describes therapy as a partnership where goals are agreed on together. Princilla aims to help people build resilience and find clearer direction in their lives.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, concrete skill-building, and steady support over time. The work often mixes problem-solving and deeper reflection so changes can stick. She welcomes people who want focused, respectful guidance through difficult life moments.

How these approaches are used in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people focus on what matters most to them while learning simple ways to tolerate difficult feelings. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and making value-driven changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people rebuild safer ways of relating and managing strong emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and it often helps with anxiety, depression, sleep, and coping skills.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods based on what feels helpful. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried, reviewed, and adjusted to fit each person's needs.

Session formats were not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer a way to continue care across locations. Licensed professionals use these approaches to teach self-management skills, practice communication, and support emotional regulation in ways that fit everyday routines.
