<![CDATA[This research is motivated by the increasing frequency of smartphone use, which causes the emergence of nomophobia in students, especially high school students, who tend to experience anxiety when away from and unable to interact with their smartphones. This research is a quantitative study with a one-group pre-test post-test design. Eight students were selected as subjects using a random sampling technique. The research instrument used a nomophobia scale that has been tested for its validity and reliability. Data were analyzed descriptively through calculating the average score, calculating N-Gain, and testing the hypothesis using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a decrease in nomophobia scores, from a pre-test average of 114.75 to a post-test average of 68.5. The N-Gain value obtained was 0.50%, which is considered low. The paired sample t-test also produced a T-value of 35.051, which is greater than T-table 2.364, which indicates that the alternative hypothesis is accepted. This indicates that group counseling using a cognitive behavioral approach has a significant effect in reducing nomophobia in students. It is hoped that the results of this research can be utilized by further researchers, especially in related scientific fields.]]>
