BirthaBlue4, you've gotten some great advice. I was going to add the bit about knowing what your state requires, but I was beaten to the punch!
The only thing I'd add is to attend some seminars held for those you'd like to counsel (ie: Parents Without Partners, Fresh Start, Inc, etc). Let those in charge of the seminar know that you're going for an advanced degree - they will be more than happy to have you sit in on it! Learn how to listen without letting your jaw drop, and when to speak. Learn when a gentle touch is needed, and when it would offend. Watch the dynamics of a large and a small group. Even if you hate it, the experience will help you both in your career, and look great on your resume.
