Matt Youngberg , LPC

Matt Youngberg, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Oklahoma with eight years of clinical experience. He brings a background that includes work as an offenders counselor and a community mental health counselor, plus more than a decade of experience as an educator. That combination informs an eclectic approach to treatment - he draws practical techniques from a range of methods and adapts them to each person’s needs.

Youngberg favors a direct, no-nonsense style that aims to identify core problems and move toward workable solutions. He is willing to challenge clients to develop greater self-awareness and insight while remaining respectful, sensitive, and compassionate. His practice focuses on relationship and intimacy issues, parenting concerns, anger, and self-esteem, and he also addresses related areas such as communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and midlife transitions.

Appointments are limited; he is accepting only a small number of clients and maintains a fixed evening schedule on Tuesdays at 7:00, 8:00, 9:00, and 10:00 pm, with each session lasting 45 minutes. If those times do not fit a prospective client’s needs, he understands and wishes them well in finding appropriate care. Outside of his clinical work, Youngberg enjoys games, athletic activities, and serving at Life.Church.

CBT and DBT Approaches for Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors by using practical exercises and skill-building to address issues like anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship conflicts. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness, making it useful for managing intense emotions, anger, and communication problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Matt works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and he adjusts techniques over time to match progress and feedback.

Online therapy with Matt is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible ways to engage in treatment. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family, and other commitments, and they allow therapy to continue when in-person meetings are impractical. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver structured interventions, practice skills in real time, and maintain ongoing support between sessions.
