This study presents a qualitative case report examining the application of three counseling approaches in individual sessions conducted in May 2026, involving three young adult clients (aged 20–21) facing different psychological concerns. The first client (A.P., male, 20) experienced delays in completing academic assignments linked to perfectionism and all-or-nothing cognitive distortions; Counselor Charlos worked with him using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), including cognitive restructuring, behavioral activation, and time-management techniques based on the Pomodoro method. The second client (A., female, 21) was a first-born child who had stopped communicating with her family due to emotional exhaustion; Counselor Nadiae worked with her using Client-Centered Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, and a low-pressure outreach approach. The third client (T., male, 20) showed excessive consumption behavior linked to peer pressure and limited financial literacy; the intervention combined CBT, a behavioral contract, and financial education. Each session lasted between 31 and 60 minutes. Within this single-session, three-case design, each client showed an initial positive response: A.P. committed to a Pomodoro-based study schedule, A. resumed contact with one family member and agreed to mediation, and T. began distinguishing needs from wants and managed his allowance without requesting extra funds. These early indications point to the value of tailoring therapeutic approaches to the specific concerns of student clients, although longer follow-up is needed to determine whether the changes are sustained.
