<![CDATA[Background: Domestic violence and child abuse remain critical issues that deeply affect the emotional and psychological well-being of victims. Addressing these problems requires strategic interventions, particularly in the field of counseling. Objective: This study aims to identify how counseling can support victims of domestic violence and child abuse in their emotional and psychological recovery process. Method: A descriptive survey research design was employed. The sample consisted of 98 professional counselors and teachers from secondary schools and colleges, selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and validated by expert review. Results: Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a statistically significant result (F = 5.215, p = .025), indicating that early counseling interventions significantly promote emotional healing, enhance communication, and build resilience. These outcomes contribute to reducing the occurrence of domestic violence and child abuse. Conclusion: Counseling plays a vital role in helping victims manage emotional responses, break destructive behavioral patterns, and develop healthier coping strategies. Originality/Value: This study offers significant empirical contributions to the fields of crisis counseling, clinical psychology, and child/family welfare by demonstrating the vital role of early counseling interventions in fostering emotional healing, breaking destructive behavioral patterns, and building resilience among victims. These findings enrich the existing literature and serve as a strategic reference for professional counselors, social workers, educators, and policymakers in establishing standardized early-intervention protocols and developing integrated restorative counseling programs for survivors of domestic violence and child abuse.]]>
