This study aimed to explore and understand the experiences of reclusive young adults in Korea participating in non-face-to-face behavioral activation counseling. Structured non-face-to-face behavioral activation counseling was provided to two reclusive individuals in their 20s, and data were analyzed through in-depth interviews and the collection of various information. The study identified 90 semantic concepts, 28 subcategories, and 6 categories related to the experience of non-face-to-face behavioral activation counseling for young adult reclusive individuals. In the theory generation stage, a cyclical model of the session and the core category of ‘self-contact and willingness to change through new attempts’ were identified as essential for growth, recovery, and addressing seclusion. The results of this study are meaningful as they provide foundational qualitative data that can support evidence-based counseling for professionals working with reclusive young adults.
