Online Psychological Counseling is a psychological support service dedicated to students of the Faculty of Tarbiyah and Education (FITK) at UIN Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta. This service is designed to assist students facing psychological challenges, particularly those affecting their academic journey.

Currently, there are five key psychological service features accessible to students:

5. Find a Psychologist
In Indonesia, professional psychologists generally specialize in three major areas: Clinical Psychologists, Educational Psychologists, and Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychologists.
Clinical Psychologists focus on understanding and providing intervention for individuals experiencing clinically diagnosed psychological disorders, such as psychosis, depression, and anxiety. They commonly practice in healthcare facilities, including hospitals and community health centers (Puskesmas).
Educational Psychologists are tasked with analyzing the psychological conditions of students and educators, particularly regarding learning disorders, academic motivation, as well as teaching and learning activities. They generally practice in schools or educational institutions.
Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychologists focus on human behavior within industrial or workplace settings. They typically practice in corporate environments, addressing issues such as employee performance, work stress, recruitment, and job placement.
Students seeking psychological services can choose a professional based on the specific nature of their challenges. Various organizations publish directories of verified psychological practices. One such directory is provided by the Indonesian Clinical Psychologist Association (IPK-Indonesia), which lists over 300 clinical psychology practices across Indonesia to ensure the public receives trusted and professional care. The directory can be accessed via the following link:
For students residing within the Sleman Regency and Yogyakarta City areas, clinical psychologists are also available and practicing in almost all local community health centers (Puskesmas).
