About Matt
Matt Youngberg, LPC, is a licensed professional counselor in Oklahoma with eight years of clinical experience. He works with people who bring concerns about relationships, intimacy, parenting, anger, and self-esteem. He also addresses related issues such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose.
Matt takes a direct, practical approach. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing different responses, and practicing new ways of relating. He draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) ideas to structure those efforts without promising specific outcomes.
Before becoming a counselor Matt spent time as an offenders counselor and in community mental health work. He also worked in education for more than a decade. Those roles influence how he organizes sessions and communicates concrete steps forward.
In practice he aims to be straightforward and to challenge unhelpful patterns while remaining respectful. Clients can expect focused conversations that move toward clear goals and practical skills to try between sessions.
Outside of work he enjoys games, athletic activities, and volunteering with his church. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details when they book to make sure those fit their needs.
How Matt uses CBT and DBT in online work
CBT focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It involves tracking situations, testing beliefs, and trying new actions to see what changes. This approach is useful for problems like low self-esteem, anxiety, and repeated relationship patterns.DBT offers concrete skills for regulating strong emotions and managing interpersonal conflict. It teaches techniques such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and clearer communication to reduce reactivity and improve relationships.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, preferences, and how problems show up. That may mean combining CBT and DBT ideas into a practical plan and adjusting it as progress is tracked.
