This study aims to analyze the role of counseling services in addressing social media addiction among adolescents. The method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and literature reviews. The findings indicate that cognitive and affective-based counseling approaches, such as individual counseling, group therapy, and time management training, are effective in helping adolescents reduce their dependence on social media. Additionally, collaboration among counselors, parents, and teachers serves as a key supporting factor in the success of interventions. Through a holistic and targeted approach, counseling services can be a strategic solution in assisting adolescents to overcome the challenges of social media addiction.
