This article examines the nature and limits of the existing cross-cultural counseling discourses in order to search for a more culturally sensitive cross-cultural counseling approach. The authors pinpoint the inherent cultural deficiencies of the existing modification-based cross-cultural counseling approaches and advocate that the cross-cultural counseling process should be an inter-subjective interaction between the counselors and counselees, both of whom are products of their own culture. Cross-cultural counseling therefore should be seen as a contextualized cultural activity which requires the open-mindedness and sensitivity of the practitioners to the cultural influence of both their clients and themselves.

This research aims to produce an effective and efficient, participatory, creative, and fun learning process. The learning strategy is also a plan that contains a series of activities designed to achieve certain educational goals and as a starting point or point of view towards the learning process. The term approach refers to the view on occurrence of a process which is still very general in nature. Therefore, the strategies, approaches and learning methods used can be sources or depend on certain approaches. Two approaches are often used to learning, namely the teacher-centered approach and the student-centered approach. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach, taking primary and secondary data sources by interviewing, observing, documenting, the analyzing and testing the data with transferability, dependability, and confirmability.  The result of this study indicate that learning with a cross-cultural counseling approach is very effective and efficient for the success of students in learning process because there is no difference between them and what happens is mutual understanding of culture, mutual assistance, tolerance, and understanding of each other’s interests.
