PsyD.
I am currently enrolled in a Masters of Arts of Clinical Adult Psychology program. I am planning on continuing with the PSyD. program, which is a doctoral degree in counseling psychology ( basically less emphasis upon research and more on actual application in a clinical setting). These programs are extremely competitive, as are most doctoral programs. For a fairly reputable school, there are usually 1,000 + applicants and under 10 spots avaliable. Mostly, those who are accepted, from my experience, are older (late 20's early 30's) and have obtained a masters degree and also post masters work. They are also published, and have experience in their feild. Also, conferences are GREAT to put on applications. I think that also working as a TA or research assistant of any kind is very beneficial. Grades of course are important. Its really depending upon the school.
