<![CDATA[Bullying among female adolescents is a significant psychosocial issue that can lead to increased levels of anxiety, impaired self-esteem, and long-term emotional consequences. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of cognitive therapy combined with supportive therapy in reducing anxiety among female adolescents who have experienced bullying. Cognitive therapy focuses on restructuring maladaptive thought patterns, while supportive therapy emphasizes empathy, encouragement, and strengthening of coping skills. The research design used true experimental pre- post test with control group with a sample of 60 respondents and using random sampling techniques. The questionnaires used in this study were the Olweus Bully/Victims Questionnaire to determine adolescents who are victims of bullying and HARS (Hamilton anxiety raising scale) to determine the level of anxiety. The findings suggest that the integration of cognitive and supportive therapy offers a synergistic approach to addressing psychological distress caused by bullying, (pv = 0.048). A combination of cognitive therapy and supportive therapy is recommended to overcome mental health problems in adolescent victims of bullying.]]>
