This research aims to find out whether students' hedonic lifestyles can be reduced with an Islamic-Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy religious integration approach. The study in this research uses a literature review approach. Through the efforts of this literature review, integration can be achieved without reducing the overall concept of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) from Albert Ellis, but everything is interrelated. Because Ellis' thoughts and religious beliefs (Islam) do not conflict. Literary studies of religious approaches to Islamic guidance and counseling are able to provide a role for theoretical and practical scientific development. The research results show that the Islamic-Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy religious integration approach is effective in reducing students' hedonistic lifestyle tendencies.
