Abstract

Adolescent mental health requires counseling approaches that are sensitive to psychological, cultural, and spiritual needs. This study develops a conceptual model integrating Solution-Focused Brief Counseling (SFBC) and muhasabah (Islamic self-reflection) to support Muslim adolescents’ mental health. An integrative literature review was conducted using Springer, the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), and Google Scholar. The review focused on publications from 2015 to 2025, while relevant foundational theoretical sources were also considered. Inclusion criteria covered literature on SFBC/SFBT among adolescents and the integration of muhasabah with psychology, counseling, or therapy, published in English or Indonesian. Of 3,313 records identified, 638 remained after initial screening, 23 underwent full-text assessment, and 16 were included in the synthesis. A descriptive-interpretive approach was used to identify concepts and synthesize theoretical arguments. The resulting model comprises five stages: Muhasabah Awareness, Goal Construction, Strength Identification, Solution Development, and Reinforcement and Reflection. The model connects spiritual self-reflection with goal-oriented change by combining muhasabah-based self-awareness and SFBC’s emphasis on strengths and practical solutions. It offers a conceptual foundation for culturally and spiritually responsive counseling, although its procedures and effectiveness require empirical validation.
