Cyberbullying is a form of digital bullying that can cause stress, decreased academic achievement, low self-esteem, to depression and suicidal tendencies in victims. The purpose of this study is to identify the role of counselors in preventing and handling cyberbullying and effective guidance and counseling service strategies in overcoming the psychological impacts of victims. The method used is library research, data collection by searching for sources and reconstructing from various sources such as books, journals and existing research. The results of the study show that counselors act as facilitators, mediators, and educators who implement interventions in the form of awareness training, individual counseling, soft skill development, and collaboration with parents and schools. This intervention is effective in reducing negative psychological impacts such as stress and low self-esteem and improving students' mental well-being. In conclusion, counselors have an important role in creating a safe and supportive school environment through structured and collaborative guidance and counseling services to deal with cyberbullying and its psychological impacts.
