About Princilla

Princilla Ursery is a licensed professional counselor who helps people in Alaska work through stress, relationship struggles, trauma, and everyday overwhelm. She focuses on clear, practical steps so clients can feel steadier and more in control. Sessions aim to make daily life more manageable, not just to talk about problems. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. In practice this means exploring what happened, learning skills to tolerate strong emotions, and testing different ways of relating to others. Therapy often includes skill building, gentle pacing around difficult memories, and working toward specific goals. Princilla draws on nine years of clinical experience as an LPC. Her work considers how identity, culture, and life circumstances shape feelings and choices. She pays attention to work stress, parenting strain, grief, and longer-term issues such as mood disorders and addiction. Clients can expect a respectful, down-to-earth approach. The focus is on what matters most to each person, and on practical changes they can try between sessions. Progress is collaborative and paced to the individual's needs. Princilla welcomes people from diverse backgrounds who want affirming, compassionate care. If you need help managing anxiety, repairing relationship patterns, or recovering from trauma, she supports people in taking the next step toward feeling better.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and reduce the hold of past hurts. It often includes paced discussion of difficult memories, grounding skills, and steps to rebuild a sense of safety and control. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and practical actions rather than eliminating unwanted feelings, helping people live toward what matters even when emotions are strong. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to change how people relate to others by increasing awareness and creating new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. Sessions can mix techniques over time so the plan responds to what’s helping and what’s not.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins on a hectic day, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, emotion regulation exercises, and relationship-focused work in remote sessions while helping clients apply changes to daily routines.

These summaries are based on the profile information listed on BetterHelp. Listing trauma-focused therapy does not mean a therapist holds a specific certification such as TF-CBT, EMDR or CPT.
