Matt Youngberg

Matt Youngberg, LPC helps people navigating relationship strain and related life changes. He writes plainly and gets to the point, aiming to help clients understand what’s driving their struggles and what steps they can take next.

Matt draws on eight years of clinical experience and more than a decade working as an educator. His background includes roles as an offender counselor and community mental health counselor, and he blends lessons from those jobs into a practical therapy style.

He uses a straightforward, no-nonsense approach. Sessions look at core beliefs, communication patterns, and behaviors that keep problems stuck. He challenges unhelpful thinking while offering respect and sensitivity as people work toward change.

Common concerns he addresses include relationships and intimacy issues, parenting stress, anger, and self-esteem. Additional areas he focuses on are communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and navigating midlife questions.

Clients can expect a therapist who pushes for clearer awareness and actionable next steps. Outside of clinical work he enjoys games, athletics, and volunteering at Life.Church. If the scheduling window does not fit, he asks people to consider other options and wishes them well.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Matt uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test those thoughts, and try new behaviors that reduce relationship conflict and anxiety.

He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal skills. DBT tools can help when anger, intense feelings, or communication breakdowns get in the way of daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying strategies, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together.
