01 · Who Matt works with

Matt works with relationship issues, intimacy-related issues and parenting issues

Matt lists 5 specialisms and 10 further focus areas. Specialisms are the subjects Matt chose to list first, which is the closest a listing gets to “this is my actual practice”.

02 · In Matt's own words

What Matt says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I am only taking on a handful of clients and my schedule is currently limited to 7, 8,9, or 10pm on Tuesdays. I am sorry for any inconvenience but am not able to change this schedule. Each session will last for 45 minutes. If this does not work out, no worries and I wish you the best.

Hello my name is Matt Youngberg, LPC. I am licensed in Oklahoma with 7 years of professional work experience. During the course of my career, I have worked as an offenders counselor, community mental health counselor, and an educator for 10+ years. I like to blend my experience, background, and formal training into an eclectic style of therapy, which just simply means I pull the best things from all types of therapy.

I like to take a no-nonsense approach to therapy and want to get to the core of the problem to start moving towards a solution. I am challenging and will push you to find a deeper understanding and awareness of your issues, but I do so with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life that struggle with any type of issues from relationships, core beliefs, self-esteem, self-compassion, anxiety, family support, and many others. I like to specialize in relationships (all types), couples counseling, domestic violence, and parenting. It takes strength to start this journey and I am glad that you have gotten in line to help yourself live a more successful life.

In my free time, I enjoy games of all kinds, athletic endeavors, and serving at Life.Church.

03 · How Matt works

The 2 approaches Matt lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Matt lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Matt's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Matt runs a session.

Cognitive Behavioural TherapyCBT

Structured, present-focused work on the loop between what you think, how you feel and what you then do. Usually means noticing a thought pattern in the room, testing it against evidence, and practising something different between sessions. Among the most heavily researched talking therapies for depression and anxiety.

Dialectical Behaviour TherapyDBT

A structured skills-led adaptation of CBT built around holding two things at once: accepting yourself as you are and working to change. Teaches concrete skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation and relationships. Developed for people whose feelings arrive at overwhelming intensity, and strongest-evidenced there.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Matt practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Matt's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Matt at this point.

2. Naming Matt specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Matt is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Matt.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Matt's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 9 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Matt. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
