Philosophical counseling utilizes philosophical concepts, methods, and techniques to assist individuals in addressing their challenges. This process involves evaluating and identifying subjective beliefs with the guidance of a philosopher, drawing on reason, sense, and intuition as essential sources of knowledge. These elements foster self-awareness and a deeper understanding of one's worldview. Philosophical counseling not only tackles philosophical inquiries but also aids in managing psychological disorders and resolving personal and societal issues. This research adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to explore the intellectual foundations, strategies, and therapeutic applications of philosophical counseling in contemporary practices. The findings indicate that philosophical counseling provides effective solutions for many prevalent individual and social issues. Moral philosophy plays a pivotal role, asserting that emotional and behavioral difficulties stem from epistemological challenges. By facilitating meaningful dialogue, the philosophical counselor supports individuals in navigating personal dilemmas, moral conflicts, and value-based decisions. Ultimately, clients are responsible for identifying and addressing their own problems, while the counselor helps clarify these issues and presents philosophical perspectives to guide their decision-making.
