Abstract: Anxiety disorder in children requires attention due to its comorbidity with depression. Proper management of this condition is essential. This single case study research explored the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral play therapy in treating a 6-year-old girl attending an Islamic school who exhibited symptoms of religious anxiety. The client attended a total of 8 intervention sessions. The assessment process involved interviews, observations, and psychological tests, including CPM, Bender-Gestalt, and SCARED for Parents. Pre- and post-intervention results, measured using the SCARED for Parents and unstructured interviews, indicated a reduction in anxiety symptoms, improved coping mechanisms, and changes in maladaptive thinking.
