This study was motivated by the importance of understanding local cultural values in the multicultural counseling process. This study aims to explore the responses of Cikondang Traditional Village residents to advice given by outsiders and to explore the local cultural values that play a role in this process. The research method was qualitative, with data collection techniques in semi-structured interviews and participatory observation of traditional leaders and residents. The study results show that the residents of Kampung Adat Cikondang are open and receptive to advice and input from outsiders. They demonstrate values such as congruency, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. However, the implementation of the advice given depends on the decision of the local traditional leaders. The conclusion reveals that cultural compatibility between counselors and clients, based on local wisdom, can increase the effectiveness of counseling in indigenous communities. This study contributes to developing multicultural counseling theory and practice based on local culture in Indonesia.
