About Matt
Matt Youngberg, LPC, focuses on helping people who are worried about relationships, parenting, anger, intimacy, and self‑esteem. He speaks plainly and aims to get to the heart of an issue so parents feel clearer about next steps. Sessions are 45 minutes long and he brings a direct, respectful approach to the work.
Matt draws on eight years of counseling experience and a background that includes offender counseling, community mental health, and more than a decade in education.
Background and approach
He combines those experiences into a straightforward style that uses practical techniques from different schools of therapy. In sessions he asks clear questions and offers honest feedback. He balances challenge with sensitivity, pushing clients to notice patterns while also naming strengths.
That mix can help people shift unhelpful reactions and try new ways of communicating at home. Common topics he addresses include communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose. He also works with concerns often raised by men and women around midlife, self‑love, and relationships.
Outside work he enjoys games, athletics, and volunteering at his church. His practice is based in Oklahoma and sessions are offered in English via several online formats and phone.

Approaches Matt lists

Approaches that translate to online therapy
Matt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a practical method that looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors to reduce conflict and improve parenting and relationship interactions.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. DBT skills can be useful for handling anger, intense emotions, and interpersonal conflicts that come up in family life.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Matt works with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. He adapts techniques from CBT and DBT to the issues and pace that suit the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text‑based messaging. Video allows face‑to‑face conversation when schedules permit. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and messaging can be used for ongoing support between sessions and for people who prefer written communication. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy family life.
