About Matt
Matt Youngberg, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma, has eight years of clinical experience. He focuses on relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, and self-esteem. Matt also addresses communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and midlife concerns.
He uses a direct, problem-solving style. Sessions move toward concrete changes rather than long theory talks. He combines elements from different methods to suit the client’s concerns and keeps sessions practical and focused.
Before his counseling career he worked in offender counseling and community mental health, and he spent over a decade as an educator. That mix of roles shapes how he talks with people about behavior, choices, and everyday problems.
In practice he aims to challenge clients so they gain clearer awareness of patterns and decisions. He asks specific questions, assigns useful skills or experiments, and follows progress session to session. Clients who prefer straightforward feedback and action-oriented steps often find this approach easy to follow.
Outside of work he enjoys games, athletic activities, and serving at Life.Church. To begin, readers should check the site’s online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How his CBT and DBT approaches work online
Matt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include experiments and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting, which is useful for anger, self-esteem, and problem-solving around relationships.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT techniques can help when strong emotions, shame, or relationship conflict make it hard to move forward.
Figuring out which approach fits is part of the early work. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then use CBT, DBT, or a mix depending on what seems most helpful. That decision is collaborative rather than fixed at the start.
