<![CDATA[Islamic counseling literature increasingly discusses spiritual values, Islamic conceptions of the self, and psychological interventions. However, the pathways connecting these constructs to psychological change and behavioral health are not always clearly articulated. This article examines how Islamic psychological constructs relate to psychological mechanisms, counseling processes, and behavioral outcomes, including self-regulation, adaptive coping, self-efficacy, and prosocial behavior. It employs a library-based integrative literature review of empirical and conceptual publications from 2020 to 2 November 2026, with earlier methodological sources used selectively. The literature is organized into four domains: Islamic psychological constructs, mechanisms of psychological change, counseling procedures, and behavioral-health implications. The reviewed studies represent different forms of evidence, including quasi-experimental, qualitative, conceptual, and secondary-review designs; their findings are therefore not treated as equivalent. The article proposes an initial integrative framework in which Islamic values may provide meaning and motivational resources, psychological processes mediate change, counseling provides a structured helping context, and behavioral indicators support evaluation. The framework is conceptual and should not be interpreted as a validated intervention model. Further empirical research is needed to test its applicability across client groups and settings.]]>
