Abstract

This study narratively examines the effectiveness of Cognitive Restructuring in group counseling as a strategy to reduce career anxiety among Islamic senior high school students. As a core technique within Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Restructuring focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns into more rational and adaptive cognitions. Using a narrative review design, six empirical studies published between 2019–2024 were analyzed thematically, selected from Google Scholar, DOAJ, and Portal Garuda based on relevance to adolescents and CBT interventions. The findings indicate that Cognitive Restructuring consistently enhances self-confidence, emotional regulation, self-acceptance, and academic resilience, which collectively reduce career anxiety. Theoretically, this study reinforces the importance of cognitive counseling approaches within Islamic education and suggests integrating Islamic spiritual values in counseling practices. Future research should empirically test Cognitive Restructuring’s quantitative impact on career anxiety and readiness among madrasah students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of munajat therapy as an Islamic counseling technique in fostering positive habits among students in the tahfidz Al-Qur'an program at SMPN 1 Siman Ponorogo. A qualitative case study design was employed, with participants selected through purposive sampling, comprising students actively involved in munajat therapy sessions and Islamic guidance and counseling (BK) teachers. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation, technique triangulation, and member checking. Thematic analysis was applied through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings demonstrate that munajat therapy effectively shifted students' religious behavioral patterns from the "rarely" and "never" categories to "frequent" across almost all observed indicators, reflecting a transformation of motivation from extrinsic to intrinsic. Improvements were also observed in self-discipline, self-regulation, spiritual awareness, and psychological well-being. The effectiveness of this therapy is influenced by the consistency of its application, the active role of BK teachers, and a school environment that upholds religious values. This study contributes a specific empirical examination of munajat therapy as a structured counseling technique in a general junior high school setting, filling a gap in prior literature that has been predominantly theoretical or focused on adult populations. Future research is recommended to expand the scope to other educational levels using mixed methods approaches.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of group guidance services using positive psychological interventions in enhancing adolescents gratitude. A quantitative approach was employed using a quasi-experimental method with an equivalent time series design. The study population consisted of 319 eleventh-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Ciamis. The sample of nine students was selected using nonprobability sampling through a convenience sampling technique. Data were collected using the Indonesian version of the Gratitude Scale and analyzed through the Shapiro–Wilk normality test followed by the Wilcoxon Signed Rank test. The results indicated a significant increase in students’ gratitude after participating in group guidance using positive psychological interventions. Improvements were observed in both personal and transpersonal dimensions, with the greatest increase in positive feelings and the smallest increase in gratitude expression. This method is recommended as a guidance and counseling strategy to enhance adolescents’ gratitude within comprehensive school counseling services. This study is among the first to apply group guidance based on positive psychological interventions to enhance both personal and transpersonal gratitude among vocational high school students

Abstract

This study aims to map global research trends on online counseling and mental health in the digital era using a bibliometric approach. Data were obtained from the Scopus database using the keywords "online counseling," "e-counseling," "telecounseling," and "cyber counseling" combined with "mental health" for the period 2015–2025, resulting in 295 documents. Analysis was conducted using Scopus descriptive features and VOSviewer to visualize keyword co-occurrence networks. The findings show a sharp increase in publications in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, peaking in 2022 and remaining stable afterward. The United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom dominate publications, with Indonesia ranked among the top contributors. Keyword analysis highlights cognitive behavioral therapy and psychology as dominant themes, while artificial intelligence, chatbots, and language models emerge as recent trends. The study underscores the growing role of technology in online counseling and the need for greater contributions from Indonesian researchers.

Abstract

The digital era and the dominance of social media have significantly transformed adolescents’ patterns of interaction and social behavior. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on PRISMA guidelines and follows Snyder’s recommendations to ensure a systematic and comprehensive analysis. Data were collected from Google Scholar, SINTA, and Scopus using keywords related to adolescent social behavior, social media, and Islamic educational psychology. Content analysis was applied to identify key themes. The findings indicate that social media has a dual impact: it enhances access to information, religious motivation, and spiritual understanding, but also leads to addiction, declining communication ethics, and exposure to negative content. The intensity of social media use also alters adolescents’ social structures. From the perspective of Islamic educational psychology, digital literacy and the strengthening of Islamic character education are essential. This study highlights the crucial role of Islamic education and identifies research gaps as a basis for future studies.

Abstract

This study appears from the crisis of meaning and spiritual emptiness in modern psychology, which raises fundamental questions about the existence of God in psychological discourse. Rooted in the secular scientific tradition of the West, modern psychology tends to marginalize transcendence and religion in understanding the human being. Major schools—psychoanalysis, behaviorism, humanism, and transpersonal—focus on biological, behavioral, and cognitive aspects while neglecting spirituality and divinity. Employing a qualitative descriptive‑analytical method with comparative analysis between modern psychological theories and Qur’anic texts, this research reveals that secular psychology denies divine existence, emphasizing only material dimensions. In contrast, the Qur’an psychological presents an integral view of the human psyche through divine elements: innate disposition (QS. Ar‑Rum [30]:30), moral inspiration (QS. As‑Syams [91]:7–8), ethical guidance (QS. As-Sad [38]: 71–72,), crisis awareness (QS. Yunus [10]:22), and inner peace through remembrance of Allah (QS. Ar‑Ra’d [13]:28).

Abstract

Communication is indeed the heart of human interaction, but in reality, the process of exchanging messages does not always run smoothly. In individual counseling sessions, various obstacles such as mechanical constraints, semantic interference, and even human factors often become unavoidable barriers. This study aims to dig deeper into the factors that actually hinder the effectiveness of interpersonal communication. We also used a literature review method, our primary focus not on numbers or field interview results, but rather on in-depth narrative and descriptive analysis from various existing scientific literature. The results show that communication barriers are dominated by human factors such as gaps in perception and psychological conditions, in addition to mechanical constraints in digital communication media. Through this literature review, it is hoped that new insights will emerge that can help counseling practitioners minimize communication disruptions in the future.

Abstract

Guidance and Counseling (BK) services currently face an increasingly complex spectrum of member issues, ranging from academic barriers to personal-social behavioral crises. This study aims to synthesize the mechanisms of therapeutic factors and group dynamics in transforming various member problems through a comprehensive literature review. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the Francis & Baldesari protocol. Literature searches were conducted through Google Scholar, SINTA, DOAJ, and Garuda databases within the 2019-2025 publication range. Based on strict selection criteria, 11 credible scientific journal articles were selected for analysis. The results indicate that the dominant problems intervened are anxiety as well as low academic motivation and resilience. Therapeutic factors such as group cohesion, universalism, and self-efficacy enhancement were identified as primary catalysts for behavioral change. The integration of counseling techniques (REBT, SFBT, and digital media) proved highly effective in optimizing group dynamics, as evidenced by significant score increases in post-test results. As a recommendation, BK practitioners are encouraged to integrate creative media and focus on strengthening Yalom's therapeutic factors within group service designs to achieve accountable and sustainable behavioral transformation.
