My daughter, who is a licensed professional clinical counselor, would have a lot to say about Kelly Johnson's apparently questionable "credentials" and ethics. As a non-regulated counselor Mrs. Johnson is not accountable to discipinary action for malpractice or boundary issues, which I can assure you she is quilty of. I used to be a compliance case manager on a state LPC board. The unregulated behavior is shocking at best and dangerously damaging at worst.
Being a counselor of some sort is a common side hustle of the faithful. It is also quite commonly a tax dodge. She is more than likely ordained to carry out the side hustle. When you are ordained you can apply to not pay social security or medicare taxes and also get some other tax benefits. Slashing social security and medicare is at the top of her husband's wish list. If I had two questions to ask her, it would be, are you ordained and are you paying social security taxes.
So, somebody has been busy scrubbing websites. Onward Christian Counselors website has disappeared, although a copy of the now infamous Operating Agreement was added to ScribD 2 days ago by HuffPost. “Kelly L. Johnson, Licensed Pastoral Counselor” appears only in the introduction. Link to follow. Facebook has bits and pieces still up as of a couple of hours ago. I couldn’t find anything on Wayback, but I’m not a skillful searcher on that. What I could find is in Chinese. Receipt Maven on X has screenshots of what some of the site used to look like. Link to follow. As usual, you nailed it!

So, another dishonest con artist who doesn't understand that the Internet is forever?
Fascinating. Thanks for your work.
Credentialism is one of the last refuges of the back-bencher.
Anonymity is one of the first refuges of the coward.

Thanks, I will add some of this to the post.
Forgot to add that People Mag says she has a degree in Elementary Education from LA State.
