<![CDATA[Based on a basic health study conducted by the Ministry of Health in 2018, 9-10 out of every 100 Indonesians suffer from mental and emotional disorders. A significant increase compared to 2013 data, namely 6%. Despite the high incidence of sufferers, there is a large imbalance between the number of mental health cases and the availability of mental health professionals in lower middle income (L-MIC) countries, including Indonesia. In addition, the price of consulting professionals is quite high, especially for adolescents. From these problems, there is an alternative solution, namely internet-based intervention. Cybercounseling or what is often called E-counseling (electronic counseling) is one of the guidance and counseling services using computer technology, especially the internet. This research will develop an e-counseling application as a preventive action and treatment for anxiety disorders. The method used in this research is Personal Extreme Programming. The research started from the requirements engineering stage which resulted in 32 functional requirements and 1 non-functional requirement. The implementation stage of this application uses Firebase as a database and using the Kotlin programming language. The final stage is a testing phase with unit testing resulting in 3 functional tests that are valid, validation testing has succeeded in reaching 100% valid according to the expected result, and usability testing produces a usability score of 87 on Maze and a SUS score of 71.5. From this research, it is hoped that it can help provide preventive action and treatment of symptoms of anxiety disorders, overcome difficulties in finding information on mental health services, provide convenience in conducting counseling, educate the importance of mental health, and helping people seek help during emergencies.]]>
