Based on these findings, group counseling can be considered as one of the effective strategies to support students' social and emotional development and improve the quality of learning in schools.

This article explores the effectiveness of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach in group counseling services to address various psychological issues experienced by students, such as anxiety, academic stress, low self-efficacy, and procrastination. Through a literature review of 20 articles published between 2015 and 2024, the study highlights that CBT-based group counseling has a positive impact on enhancing educational awareness, career maturity, self-confidence, self-control, and body image.
