About Matt

Matt Youngberg, LPC helps people who are feeling stuck in their relationships, struggling with anger, or wrestling with low self-esteem. He writes plainly and gets to the point so people know what to expect. Sessions aim to clarify what matters most and begin practical steps forward.

He brings eight years of professional counseling experience and a background that includes work as an offenders counselor and in community mental health. He also spent over a decade in education, which shapes how he explains ideas and teaches skills in sessions.

Background and approach

Matt favors a direct, no-nonsense style. He asks straightforward questions and challenges unhelpful patterns, while remaining respectful and compassionate. That approach is intended to help clients gain insight and try different ways of handling old problems.

He uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people change thinking habits, manage intense emotions, and improve communication. In practice this means setting clear goals, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking small changes over time. Matt often helps people with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, parenting concerns, and struggles around guilt, shame, and forgiveness.

Outside of work he enjoys games, athletic activities, and serving at his church.

How CBT and DBT Work Online

Matt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, clear goals, and small experiments to try between appointments. It is useful for managing anger, changing negative self-talk, and improving daily routines.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improved communication. DBT techniques involve learning concrete skills for handling strong feelings and reducing reactive behaviors. This can help when emotions escalate quickly or when communication repeatedly breaks down.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be simpler if bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing skill practice between meetings. These options offer flexibility to fit schedules and different comfort levels.
