Princilla Ursery, LPC

Princilla Ursery is a licensed professional counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She practices in Alaska and focuses on everyday struggles like sleep problems, relationship strain, parenting stress, and managing mood disorders. Her approach is calm and straightforward, aimed at practical steps people can try between sessions.

She uses a mix of therapy styles to match each person's needs. That can include approaches that help with thoughts and behaviors, methods that look at attachment and how relationships shape feelings, and skills for tolerating strong emotions. Sessions emphasize clear goals, small experiments, and gentle accountability.

Princilla brings nine years of experience to her work and centers cultural sensitivity in conversations. She listens for personal history, caregiving burdens, and health concerns that affect everyday life. That background helps when addressing aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, or complex mood concerns.

In practice she breaks problems into manageable pieces and teaches tools people can use right away. Clients may learn coping skills for anxiety, communication strategies for relationship conflicts, or routines to improve sleep and daily functioning. The focus is practical support paired with a respectful, person-centered stance.

To start, she asks about current challenges, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. That information guides a collaborative plan and lets her tailor methods like cognitive work, acceptance strategies, or emotion-regulation skills to fit each person’s life.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice their thoughts without getting stuck in them and then act based on personal values. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and building small, value-driven steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people change how they relate to others; it is useful for intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and communication problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviors into specific patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which is often helpful for sleeping problems, mood disorders, and stress.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past attempts, and daily life to decide which methods to try first. Methods can be mixed and adjusted as progress is reviewed so the plan fits the person rather than the other way around.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people practice skills in their normal routines and bring real-life examples to session work. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, attachment work, and CBT techniques to the online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
