The study explores the role of individual counseling using the reframing technique in fostering resilience among junior high school adolescents experiencing toxic parenting. A qualitative case study design was employed involving one eighth-grade student who reported persistent family conflict and toxic parenting ex, periences. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation during counseling sessions, and counseling documentation. The data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that individual counseling with the reframing technique contributed to positive changes in the participant’s cognitive, emotional, and spiritual responses to family-related adversity. The participant demonstrated a reduced tendency to blame herself for parental conflicts, improved emotional regulation, greater self-efficacy, and the adoption of more adaptive coping strategies. The counseling process also facilitated positive meaning-making of difficult family experiences and strengthened the participant’s use of spiritual resources as a source of psychological support. These changes suggest the early development of resilience-related capacities rather than a comprehensive or permanent increase in resilience. The study contributes to the counseling literature by highlighting the potential of integrating cognitive-behavioral reframing techniques with Islamic spiritual values in supporting adolescents who experience toxic family environments. Practically, the findings provide insights for school counselors in designing culturally and spiritually responsive interventions for students facing family-related psychological challenges.
