About Matt
Matt Youngberg is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oklahoma with eight years of clinical experience. He works with adults who are dealing with relationship strain, intimacy difficulties, parenting stress, rising anger, and challenges with self-esteem. He writes plainly and expects direct work aimed at practical change.
Matt draws on prior roles as an offenders counselor and community mental health counselor, plus more than a decade working in education. That background shapes how he structures sessions and the kinds of techniques he brings in. He favors a clear, no-nonsense style that focuses on identifying core problems and moving toward solutions.
He combines elements from different therapies to suit the matter at hand. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot thinking patterns and test new behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills appear when emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are priorities.
Sessions are purposeful and often challenge clients to look at ingrained habits and beliefs. The work can include skill practice, straightforward feedback, and step-by-step plans to handle difficult moments. Matt expects effort between sessions and discusses practical ways to apply new strategies in everyday life.
Away from work he enjoys games, sports, and volunteer work at Life.Church. He asks prospective clients to confirm session options before booking so scheduling and formats match their needs.
How CBT and DBT inform online sessions
Matt commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice the thoughts that fuel anger and then practice different responses. CBT often includes short behavioral experiments and homework to test new ways of reacting.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and better interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style techniques teach concrete tools for calming intense feelings and improving communication under stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Matt will discuss which methods fit a client's goals and preferences and will adjust plans as needed. That collaborative decision-making helps focus sessions on what will actually change everyday patterns.
Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also supports practicing skills where they matter most, such as right after a difficult conversation or a stressful day at work.
