About Princilla

Princilla Ursery is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Alaska who helps people facing a wide range of life challenges. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, and issues such as addiction, grief, sleep troubles, parenting strain, and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses more specific difficulties like ADHD, bipolar disorder, intimacy concerns, and compassion fatigue. Ursery draws on evidence-informed approaches to support practical change and emotional insight, helping clients explore their values, build coping skills, and repair relational patterns.

She combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based and attachment-focused strategies to tailor interventions to each person’s needs, alongside elements from dialectical and existential frameworks when helpful. Her aim is to help clients develop resilience, improve communication, and find clearer direction amid life transitions.

With nine years of clinical experience and the LPC credential, she centers cultural sensitivity and respect in the therapeutic relationship. People seeking a collaborative, empathic therapist in Alaska will find a practitioner who balances practical tools with thoughtful exploration of meaning and identity.

Approach-Oriented Online Therapy and Practical Support



Princilla commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility, an approach helpful for coping with life changes and persistent emotional pain. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore relational patterns and improve communication and intimacy by understanding early connection styles and how they show up in present relationships.

Choosing the right therapeutic approach often happens together; the therapist emphasizes collaboration and will work with each client to determine which methods and goals best match their needs and preferences. This process can include trying different strategies and adjusting focus as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access therapy from within Alaska. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling, allow ongoing contact between appointments when appropriate, and make it simpler to fit treatment into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
