This study aims to examine the effectiveness of group counseling using the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach in improving the self-confidence of migrant students. The background of this research is based on the low self-confidence experienced by migrant students due to difficulties in adapting to a new environment and the emergence of negative thoughts related to their regional identity. This study used a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design involving students from the Guidance and Counseling Study Program at Universitas Kristen Indonesia, cohorts 2023 and 2024. The results showed that the students’ self-confidence scores in the pre-test were in the low category with a score range of 75–84. After participating in five sessions of group counseling using the CBT approach, the post-test scores increased to a range of 95–111, categorized as moderate. The Paired Sample T-Test result showed a significance value of p = 0.02 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. The improvement in self-confidence occurred through the application of cognitive restructuring techniques that helped students transform negative thoughts into more rational and positive thinking patterns.
