You probably need a Masters Degree in Psychology or Social Work.
Here you can choose from brick and mortar schools or online options. I am not sure unless you are writing a book that you need anything more than a degree as long as you care about your patients. In other words, why spend money on a brand name when most ppl won't look up from the floor long enough to care where you went to school? Once you do get them to look up, they won't care about a piece of paper.
Here is an online school I found that says it doesn't require a bachelors in social work to earn a masters in social work

As of April 2020, according to Payscale, the average hourly salary throughout the country for child psychologist is $34 and the average annual income is $69,248. In May 2019, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary for all psychologists (excluding clinical, counseling, school, and industrial-organizational psychologists) was $98,230. The average salary for clinical, counseling, and school psychologists was $87,450 in May 2019. Varies by state.
Hope that helps. Always try to balance the pay you receive with the time and effort and enjoyment that you will spend/or receive.
Life is short why not make it what you want.
