I received some information about her. It's confirmed her claimed "degrees" aren't real. There's no actual degree in counseling or psychology, just two from the more notorious degree mills.
The first fake degree is from Wisdom University. There's another by the same name, now closed by the Albanian govt. There's also a very cheap online Bible college. This one is attached to "Ubiquity University," a Nuage outfit. WU is their "graduate program." Their website is down for several years. It shows off a lot of spiritual tourism to retreats in Mexico, France, Italy.

https://www.jasoncolavito.com/blog/the-real-story-behind-danny-sheehan-and-those-15000-ufo-phd-degreesUbiquity University is indeed a dubiously accredited “university”
charging students between $5,000 and $16,500 for advanced “degrees” in “wisdom studies,” various mystical and pseudoscientific ideas, and “extraterrestrial studies.”
If you are budget-conscious, you can opt for the less-rigorous certificate program in extraterrestrial studies, which requires only eight “micro courses” and an essay. (Dunning wrongly claims the certificate as the PhD program.) Frankly, I’m not sure how much more non-evidence one can learn in a full UFO PhD program vs. a certificate program. Any multiple of zero is still zero.
As Brian Dunning noted, an important problem with Ubiquity University is that it claims to be “a registered university authorized to award academic degrees” when it is not regionally accredited by an organization recognized by the Department of Education. (Similar problems under New York State law doomed the deceptively named Trump University.)
Ubiquity University claims to have awarded more than 300 “degrees,” meaning that the school may have raked in more than $4 million for their worthless diplomas. That’s not all that impressive, since the school was founded by Matthew Fox under another name in 1995 and has been actively recruiting students in its current form since 2012.
In the United States, the government does not regulate universities. However, the U.S. Department of Education recognizes several regional accrediting organizations that evaluate schools and certify that they meet generally recognized academic standards. Schools thus accredited issue degrees that are considered fully accredited, or, for lack of a better word, “real.” Like several Bible schools and scam colleges, Ubiquity University has a lengthy page explaining why they have rejected the regional accreditation process, claiming that it is a tool of oppression that suppresses alternative ways of knowing. Ubiquity goes further, creating its own accreditation body unrecognized by the Department of Education to issue its own “accreditation.”

The second is from Edenvale University. All of Google's top links are about its fraudulent nature.
https://hedd.ac.uk/viewInstitution?id=479"This provider does not award recognised UK degrees."

The university above is completely fictitious. They have copied Leeds Uni. Compare the following 2 sites
Leeds University
http://www.edenvaleuniversity.net/They have even left references in the source code of the page to Leeds university. They are selling qualifications. It would appear that some people are using them."

- The degree parchment looks like a UCLA testamur
- You can 'legally' call yourself doctor
- You receive the parchment, transcript of results, course material (to prove you did the 'course') and full verification service'
- I would be fully registered on the 'university's' database with fax, email, mailing address for employers to 'verify'
- I have 1 year to change date of graduation, field and major
- Accredited by the 'World Wide Distance Learning Council' which is (drumroll) an International Organisation (and I am supposed to be impressed by THAT??
Now to money:
- Intial quote was $US1,950 for the full package
- I told him it was too expensive - what was his best price?
- He told me he would speak to his 'supervisor' and get back to me (hand goes over phone and pretends to talk to someone)
- 'Best price' was $US600.00, which I had to pay there and then and promise never to tell anyone else about the deal
- I said it was still too expensive. I was thinking in the range of US$400.00
-'Oh no, we can't do it for that price', he stated
- 'Well, that's my budget', I said
- 'Ok', he replied, 'US$500.00 and that is the final offer.
- 'Its tempting', I said, 'But really I cannot pay more than $US400.00'
- There was silence, he was obviously mulling it through his mind, then he hung up on me!"
