About Matt
Matt Youngberg, LPC, focuses on helping men and others who are struggling with relationship stress, low self-esteem, anger, and questions about intimacy. He presents a direct, no-nonsense style and aims to help people get to the core of their problems so they can start making practical changes. Sessions are described as challenging but respectful, with an emphasis on awareness and active work toward goals.
Matt draws on eight years of clinical experience and more than a decade in educational roles. His background includes work as an offenders counselor and in community mental health. He blends that experience into an eclectic approach, choosing techniques from different methods to suit each person's needs.
In sessions he uses practical, goal-focused conversation and will push clients to consider new perspectives. He balances that challenge with sensitivity and compassion. Typical concerns he supports include relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, control and communication problems, guilt and shame, and finding purpose in midlife.
He lists Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) among his clinical approaches and adapts those methods to the situation at hand. Matt also notes experience working with issues tied to divorce and separation, forgiveness, and self-love.
Outside of work he enjoys games, athletic activities, and volunteering at Life.Church. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details before booking.
How CBT and DBT Inform Online Work
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It often involves setting clear goals and trying small behavior changes between sessions to see what helps. DBT teaches skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, with an emphasis on balancing acceptance and change.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to figure out which tools fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Over time methods may be blended so sessions match what is most useful in day-to-day life.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as current options are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use quieter times in their day or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Licensed professionals tailor the format and pacing to practical constraints and therapeutic goals to help clients apply what they learn between sessions.
