Abstract

A teenager has big dreams and hopes for himself in the future. What and who they want to be in the future are thoughts that often arise and make teenagers feel anxious about their future. Cognitive Behavior Therapy is one of the psychotherapies that can be used to reduce this anxiety. This therapy helps adolescents identify negative or useless thought patterns that cause anxiety, and teaches them to change these thought patterns to be more positive and adaptive. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavior Therapy to reduce anxiety in adolescents in determining the future. Based on the phenomenon obtained by researchers that many adolescents experience confusion and even anxiety in determining their future. The type of research used is qualitative research with a descriptive design. Participants in this study amounted to one student who experienced anxiety in determining her future. Data were collected using interview, observation, and documentation. The data were analyzed using the four components proposed by Miles and Hubermen. The results showed that the client experienced anxiety related to the world of work. In addition, there are demands from the client's parents who say that the client must work as a successful civil servant. Clients also feel they do not have the skills and readiness to face the world of work. Cognitive behavioral therapy is able to reduce clients' feelings of anxiety by changing negative thoughts and trying to do more productive activities.
