The Role of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) Counseling in Managing Anxiety Disorders in Adolescents

This research aims to analyze the role of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) counseling and to analyze ways to manage anxiety disorders in adolescents. This research is a literature study using a qualitative paradigm with content analysis or interpretive content analysis, intertext analysis or intertextual analysis. The research results show that CBT plays an important role in managing adolescent anxiety disorders. The ability to target inappropriate thought patterns and help adolescents acquire skills that can be used throughout their lives is the key to its success. To improve therapy outcomes, it is important to consider the existing challenges. This includes a lack of access and social support. To maximize the impact of CBT on the adolescent population, increased access to trained therapists and the use of more advanced technology are necessary. However, the management of anxiety disorders in adolescents must be supported by various types of therapies such as psychopharmacological therapy, somatic therapy, psychological therapy, behavioral therapy, and religious therapy or what is known as dhikr therapy.
