The famous psychologist Erik Erikson regarded adolescence as the most critical stage of development. With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a need to look into the intrapersonal dynamics of adolescents’ mental health reflected through their sense of coherence, self-compassion, and mental well-being. Through an explanatory-sequential mixed-method inquiry design, the participants’ (n=349) degree of sense of coherence, self-compassion, and mental well-being were explored and deepened using three standardized questionnaires in the quantitative and a semi-structured interview guide in the qualitative phase. Statistical and thematic analyses revealed that the participant's ability to create a systematic approach in dealing with the stressors is instrumental in showing care and concern towards themselves. Self-compassionate individuals are more adaptive to stress and better cope with problems in the immediate environment. The participants who reported high inclinations in showing care and concern towards themselves are less likely to experience or endure chronic mental health problems. They can control internal thought and emotional processes, while those with a low overall sense of mental well-being signal the need to address inner self-defeating thoughts. The paper proposes intrapersonal counseling as a new approach that mental health professionals, particularly guidance counselors, can use in their practice.
