Abstract: This study explored the intervention effect of SBCBT on the self-esteem level of adolescent patients with depression. Method: Students from a junior high school in Beijing were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into a joint experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received group psychological counseling based on cognitive behavioral therapy, once a week for a total of 8 sessions, each lasting 1 hour; Individual counseling was provided to the experimental group 2 once a week for a total of 8 sessions, each lasting 40 minutes; The control group did not receive any intervention. Results: After 8 weeks of treatment, independent sample t-test showed that the mean score of the three dimensions of the experimental group students was M=26.80, SD=3.19, which was significantly different from the mean score of the three dimensions of the control group students, M=16.43, SD=6.11, t=5.29, p<0.001. After one semester of practice, the average total score of the three dimensions for the 10 students in the experimental group was M=20.70, SD=5.98. Conclusion: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as a scientific and effective psychological treatment method, can significantly alleviate adolescent anxiety, improve their learning anxiety, interpersonal anxiety, and physical symptoms.
