Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the cognitive restructuring technique during counseling sessions. A purposive sampling method was used to select a subject from junior doctor undergoing training at Government Hospital. Quantitative data were collected using the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), while qualitative data were obtained through verbatim transcripts of counseling sessions. A total of six counseling sessions were conducted, and the stress level was analyzed through descriptive analysis of the PSS scores and content analysis of the verbatim transcripts. The findings revealed that houseman with high perceived stress levels exhibited stress symptoms across emotional, physiological, cognitive, and behavioral dimensions. Overall, the counseling sessions successfully reduced the client’s stress level from high to moderate, demonstrating the effectiveness of the cognitive restructuring technique in managing stress among junior doctor.
