I got my start working in a residential setting, supporting people through serious mental health challenges, trauma, and addiction. That experience shaped how I see therapy, it’s not just clinical, it’s about feeling understood and not alone in what you’re going through. I now work with people dealing with things like trauma, emotional ups and downs, and substance use, and I’m trained in EMDR. While I have experience with more intense situations, I also work with people who feel stuck, reactive, or disconnected and want to understand why.

Dustin Kebre

Dustin Kebre

Therapist

Virtual • Boca Raton, FL


Dustin R. Kebre; M.A; LMFT; MT3057 My current focus lies in the private practice setting, where I take a special interest in treating trauma, anxiety & depressive disorders in adults. I take a Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) approach, which allows for long-term benefits in fewer sessions than other counseling models. I was intensively trained in EMDR and believe the focus of counseling is to not only work on managing your current struggles, but to develop the tools needed to independently manage future obstacles as well. I use a combination of reflective listening, as well as an instructional approach, to help guide you towards becoming the best version of you!

I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and a License in Marital and Family Therapy. I treat individuals, couples and families. I specialize in healing people from pain and suffering. I believe the connection you can develop during therapy provides an environment where you can feel safe and nurtured. We all need this kind of support in a world that seems to care less and less about your needs as a human being. The first step is the most difficult; however, often the most life changing. I look forward in helping you transform your life and be the person you were meant to be.

I am a graduate of Pepperdine University, I am proficient in treating minor to severe mental health issues and disorders. I have extensive experience working with dual diagnosis and addiction. I am competent in healing people with minor to severe mental health issues including trauma and personality disorders. I specialize in treating individuals, couples and families from a family system perspective, as well using multiple evidence based modalities in a integrative approach.

Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing anxiety, ADHD, trauma, chronic health concerns, or the emotional weight of trying to keep everything together. You may feel exhausted, misunderstood, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or frustrated by challenges that affect your relationships, confidence, and daily life. I work with adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, chronic illness, physical health concerns, depression, bipolar disorder, stress management challenges, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by circumstances beyond their control and looking for practical tools that create meaningful change. Together, we'll build on your strengths, identify obstacles that may be keeping you stuck, and develop strategies that support healing, resilience, and long-term emotional wellness. My goal is to help you feel empowered, capable, and confident as you move forward.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tampa

Finding the right OCD therapist in Tampa starts with understanding what type of care you need. Obsessive-compulsive disorder may be addressed with several evidence-informed approaches, and a licensed provider can help determine what type of care may be appropriate for your needs. Some people may also explore medication options with a qualified prescribing clinician, who can discuss whether that approach may be appropriate alongside or instead of therapy. If you're unsure where to start, look for a licensed provider — such as an LMHC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific training and experience with OCD rather than a general mental health background.

With many providers practicing across Tampa, South Tampa, Brandon, and the wider Tampa Bay area, narrowing your options can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most: a provider's experience with your specific OCD symptoms, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and how their schedule aligns with yours. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and help you decide if they're a good match before your first appointment.

Specialized OCD therapy in Tampa can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
