This study was motivated by the researcher’s concern for new students vulnerability to academic stress. This is due to changes in learning patterns between school and college, starting from different levels of difficulty of assignments from lecturers, new environments, and speaking in front of the class during presentations. Thus, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of dzikr relaxation therapy in an effort to reduce the academic stress of students majoring in Islamic Guidance and Counseling at the State Islamic University of Mataram. This study uses a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression analysis technique. Data collection in the study was carried out using the questionnaire and documentation methods with a population of 159 research subjects. Then, a sample of 80 people (50%) was chosen. The results of data processing indicate that the dhikr relaxation variable has a relationship with the student academic stress variable with an r-value of 0.799, classified as very strong and positive. The R squared correlation coefficient of 75.8% shows the contribution contributed by X to Y. So, the results of the study obtained after the F test using SPSS showed that dhikr relaxation reduces students’ academic stress with a value of F_count = 43.540> F_table = 3.96. With a significant probability of Sig. = 0.00> α = 0.05, which means H_α is accepted, and H₀ is rejected. This means there is a considerable influence on the provision of dhikr relaxation therapy in reducing students’ academic stress.
