This study investigates social withdrawal among fatherless female students and examines intervention strategies for this issue. A qualitative clinical case study design with two participants. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis. The analysis involved data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. Both participants showed social withdrawal, demonstrated by limited peer interaction, avoidance of communication with teachers and classmates, and low engagement in learning. Key factors included fatherlessness, family trauma, low self-confidence, and lack of emotional support. The intervention was individual counseling using a humanistic framework, specifically Person-Centered Therapy, in eight sessions. Outcomes included more openness, better communication, and greater participation in school activities. The study concludes Person-Centered Therapy effectively reduces social withdrawal by fostering self-acceptance and emotional support. These results may guide school counselors in developing counseling services for similar students.
