About Matt

Matt Youngberg, LPC, offers focused, practical therapy aimed at people dealing with relationship strain, intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

He helps clients who are ready to look directly at patterns that keep them stuck and to develop more effective ways of relating to themselves and others. Sessions follow a clear, goal-oriented rhythm and last 45 minutes, with limited evening availability on Tuesdays at 7, 8, 9, or 10 pm.

With eight years of clinical experience and more than a decade as an educator, Matt blends hands-on work in offender counseling and community mental health with formal training. He draws on elements from multiple therapeutic models to tailor interventions to each person, emphasizing straightforward feedback, respectful challenge, and compassion.

His approach often centers on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors while building practical skills for communication, managing anger, addressing control issues, processing guilt and shame, and finding greater self-love and life purpose. Outside of practice he enjoys games, athletic activities, and serving at Life.Church.

He practices in Oklahoma and conducts sessions in English.

Practical therapeutic approaches for online support

Matt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT focuses on concrete skills and exercises that can reduce distress and improve daily functioning, making it useful for issues like anger, self-esteem, and relationship patterns.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. DBT techniques can be particularly helpful when strong emotions, control struggles, or relationship conflict interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to match interventions to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds and prioritizing practical tools that fit the client's life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility in how and when people engage in therapy. These formats allow work to continue around schedules and life demands, supporting consistent skill practice and easier access to care from Oklahoma-based licensed professionals.
