Abstract
Self-esteem is one of the essential components that make up an individual's personality. The level of self-esteem possessed by an individual influences the development of self-concept, self-confidence, self-motivation, and personal resilience. Self-esteem develops since the individual realizes its function in the social environment.

The initial assessments used are the intelligence test, personality test, and self-esteem scale. It is concluded that the subject experienced low self-esteem which had an impact on self-confidence, motivation, and resilience ability in attending lectures. This condition also affects the academic achievement of the subject, which is unsatisfactory.

Summary
Pembahasan Hasil dari proses konseling yang telah dilaksanakan menggambarkan bahwa subjek yang awalnya memiliki penilaian negatif kepada dirinya telah mampu mengubah pikirannya melalui latihan-latihan yang ada dalam sesi konseling menjadi penilaian positif kepada dirinya. Kondisi tersebut sejalan dengan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan Sarandria (2012) bahwa intervensi konseling dengan pendekatan cognitive-behavior therapy yang diberikan kepada individu yang memiliki penilaian negatif kepada dirinya dan akhirnya menyebabkan individu tersebut memiliki self esteem rendah mampu merubah penilaian individu tersebut menjadi lebih positif dan meningkatkan self esteem individu tersebut. Subjek juga merasa kepercayaan dirinya sudah mulai meningkat untuk berbicara di depan orang banyak atau dalam situasi diskusi. Hal tersebut sesuai dengan hasil penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Mahasri dan Juliani yang menjelaskan bahwa konseling dengan pendekatan kognitif mampu menurunkan tingkat kecemasan individu, khususnya kecemasan ketika berinteraksi dengan individu lain dan kecemasan akademik (Shobabiya & Prasetyaningrum, 2017). Subjek juga mengatakan bahwa semenjak mengikuti proses konseling dirinya sudah mencoba untuk berbicara dengan orang baru dan tidak berdiam diri saja jika berada dalam sebuah kelompok.
