The problem of bullying in schools can have several negative impacts on students' mental health, such as causing serious anxiety for victims. Therefore, to prevent victims of bullying from experiencing prolonged psychological problems, they need support such as counseling. This study aims to see the effectiveness of individual counseling using the empty chair technique in overcoming the anxiety of bullying victims. This research is an experimental research with pre-test and post-test design. The data collection technique used was a Likert scale to measure the anxiety level of victims of bullying. This study used a purposive sampling technique involving 10 students from a total population of 70 students in class X at Madrasah Aliyah Negeri 7 Pidie. Data analysis was performed using a paired t-test to compare the results of the pre-test and post-test of the groups given the treatment. The results showed that there were significant differences before and after being given individual counseling services using the empty chair technique for victims of bullying (17.052 > 2.262). The average score of individuals before counseling using the empty chair technique was 51.90 and the average score after counseling was 78.20. This means that the treatment given has a positive impact on overcoming anxiety. Thus, individual counseling using the empty chair technique has a significant effect on overcoming anxiety in victims of bullying.
