Mental health challenges among adolescents in Indonesia are often associated with difficulties in expressing emotions verbally. This study explores the application of the Draw How You Feel method as part of art therapy to enhance clients’ emotional openness in group counseling. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and an analysis of simulated scenes in the film Bolehkah Sekali Saja Kumenangis. The study involved clients who experienced barriers to verbally expressing their problems and counselors who applied the approach. Data were analyzed using source and method triangulation. The findings indicate that Draw How You Feel helps clients express complex emotions through visual media, creates a supportive counseling atmosphere, and increases confidence in sharing experiences. Thematic analysis further suggests that the technique may reduce verbal barriers, alleviate anxiety, and foster positive group dynamics. The study concludes that Draw How You Feel is an innovative counseling technique that integrates visual art to support emotional openness and clients’ well-being. These findings suggest that the method may serve as an alternative strategy for counselors working with clients who have difficulty articulating their concerns verbally. Research is needed to compare this method with other counseling techniques.
