This study is motivated by a phenomenon that occurred at SMAN 1 Warunggunung, namely a case of aggressive behavior experienced by one of the Grade XI students. The student comes from a broken home and receives less attention from one of his parents. As a result, the student channels his anger at school, such as disturbing friends, pinching, mocking, insulting, and even engaging in fights between students. Therefore, through Individual Counseling Services with a Behavioral Approach, it is expected that such aggressive behavior can be reduced. Based on this background, the research problem is formulated as: how is the result of individual counseling with a behavioral approach in reducing the aggressive behavior of Grade XI students at SMAN 1 Warunggunung. The aim of this study is to determine the results of individual counseling with a behavioral approach in reducing students’ aggressive behavior at SMAN 1 Warunggunung. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through interviews and observation. Based on the research results from observations and interviews, it was found that the counselee showed slight improvement, where the aggressive behavior had started to decrease and was no longer frequently performed. Gradually, the counselee also began to have a positive influence on his peers. The counselee’s behavior slowly indicated a return to his previous personality before the occurrence of deviant behavior influenced by his father.
