About Princilla

Princilla Ursery is a licensed professional counselor who helps people in Alaska who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or big life changes. She offers calm guidance for relationship struggles, parenting strain, grief, addiction concerns, and trouble sleeping. Princilla works with clients who want clearer communication, stronger self-esteem, or help managing mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder.

She takes a practical, patient approach that starts with listening. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and on small, doable steps toward change. Techniques draw from mindfulness practices and evidence-based therapies to build coping skills and emotional awareness.

Princilla has nine years of experience as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor. That background informs work with trauma and abuse survivors, attachment challenges, and issues related to caregiving or chronic illness. Sessions aim to help people feel steadier and more able to handle daily demands.

Her practice pays attention to identity, culture, and the particular pressures clients face. People who are LGBTQ or who are navigating blended family dynamics or caregiving roles often find focused, nonjudgmental support.

In therapy she helps clients notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of relating, and practice skills between sessions. The goal is greater emotional balance, clearer decision making, and more honest connection with others.

How therapies like mindfulness and ACT fit into online care

Mindfulness-based work focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity. It helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations so they can choose how to respond to stress and anxiety rather than reacting automatically.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, mixes acceptance strategies with values-guided action. It helps people make room for difficult feelings while committing to steps that match what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and helps people change how they connect and communicate when old responses cause hurt.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick which methods to emphasize based on goals, concerns, and personal preferences. That collaboration helps tailor sessions so they feel relevant and doable.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into daily life - for example, a shorter check-in can work during a lunch break, and sessions without video can reduce bandwidth needs. Licensed professionals use these approaches to support emotional skills, relationship shifts, and coping during life transitions.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing mindfulness as an approach does not mean a therapist holds a formal mindfulness training or certificate.
