This study explores the integration of Stoic philosophy into guidance and counseling practices, specifically focusing on its application in managing stress among adolescents. It examines the philosophical underpinnings of guidance and counseling through the lenses of ontology, epistemology, and axiology, highlighting their interconnectedness in shaping the practice. The research utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach, employing a literature review methodology to analyze relevant scholarly works and texts. The study reveals that Stoic philosophy, with its emphasis on self-control, acceptance, and focusing on what is within one's control, offers a valuable framework for addressing stress. The core principles of Stoicism, particularly the "dichotomy of control," are presented as a practical tool for counselors to guide adolescents in navigating stressful situations. The study concludes that incorporating Stoic philosophy into guidance and counseling practices can empower adolescents to develop resilience, manage emotions effectively, and cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life. The findings suggest that Stoicism's emphasis on self-awareness, rational thinking, and acceptance can serve as a valuable intervention strategy for counselors working with adolescents experiencing stress.
