<![CDATA[The galodo flash-flood disaster in Jorong Guguak, Nagari Guguak Malalo, caused not only physical and material damage but also psychological effects on survivors, particularly adolescents. Some adolescent survivors showed anxiety responses such as fear, excessive worry, and difficulty sleeping whenever it rained, since heavy rain was perceived as a sign that disaster would recur. This article describes the application of individual counseling using a cognitive-behavioral approach to help adolescent galodo survivors manage negative automatic thoughts and anxiety toward rain. The activity was part of a disaster-response community service program, with two adolescents each receiving one individual counseling session. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and counseling process notes, then analyzed descriptively by comparing the counselees' condition before and after the intervention. The counseling process followed cognitive assessment, identification of automatic thoughts, cognitive restructuring, and reinforcement of coping behavior. Results showed that after counseling, both counselees began recognizing the automatic thought that rain means disaster will recur, evaluating it more rationally, and forming a more balanced alternative thought. Anxiety toward rain showed an initial decrease, though it had not fully disappeared. This activity indicates that a cognitive-behavioral approach can serve as a useful early strategy in psychological support for adolescent disaster survivors, although further counseling remains necessary.]]>
