About Matt
Matt Youngberg, LPC, focuses on parents and families who want clearer communication and calmer home life. He writes plainly and meets families where they are. Sessions aim to identify what is getting in the way and build practical steps to change daily routines and interactions.
The first paragraphs of a conversation will usually cover priorities and what a family hopes to see happen. Matt uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to shape the work.
Background and approach
He blends his training with time spent as an offender counselor, community mental health counselor, and more than a decade working in education. That mix informs a straightforward style that looks for concrete patterns to change rather than long theory talks. He describes his approach as no-nonsense and direct.
He asks difficult questions and challenges unhelpful habits, while staying respectful and compassionate. That balance helps people spot blind spots and try new ways of interacting at home. Typical topics include relationship strain, parenting struggles, anger, control issues, self-esteem, and forgiveness.
He also addresses concerns like divorce and separation, guilt and shame, life purpose, and issues often named for men or women in midlife transitions. Matt holds an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and has eight years of professional counseling experience in Oklahoma. Outside of work he enjoys games, sports, and community service at Life.Church.
Therapeutic approaches and online support for families
Matt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and routines. CBT breaks problems into small parts so families can try specific behavior changes and see what improves.He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and better communication. DBT offers practical skills for handling strong feelings and reducing conflict during heated moments.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person or family to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That process can change as progress unfolds and priorities shift.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make attending easier around family schedules. These options allow for brief check-ins, skills practice between meetings, or full weekly sessions to build new habits. The flexible formats help parents and caregivers use therapy without rearranging too much of their routine.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
