Main points: 

• Before embarking on the application process, make sure that you are prepared & excited for the programs you’re interested in. Otherwise, you may not have the necessary motivation to make it through the application process, much less several years of graduate school!
• Develop an organizational system early.
• Break the process into steps and try to avoid tackling many steps at once.
• Take the general GRE and the Psychology GRE as early as possible. (Taking the GRE tests early will allow you to focus on other application components during
  the fall months.)
• Prioritize the research match between you & potential advisors when making your initial grad school
  list & also when making your final decision.
• If possible, consult with psychology graduate students & faculty members at every step of the process.
• Allow ample time to meet each deadline.
• Ask many people to read & comment on your personal statement.
• Make your letter-writers’ job as easy as possible for them.
• For each program, be sure to check whether you should send materials to the Psychology Department or
  the Graduate School.
• Be gracious with & express your gratitude to everyone who helps you throughout the process!

From PhD panelist Namrata Nanavatay, 
Here are some resources for those applying to Clinical/Counseling-Psych graduate programs:

• A guide I wrote for the application process & timeline - https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/A-guide-to-applying-for-a-PhD-in-Clinical-Psychology-xk4CEUmFJ6E44GoAhtRkp?_tk=share_copylink
• A book that everyone should buy, it’s a great resource outlining all the programs across the country (research vs therapy emphasis, research areas offered, funding available, etc) and is updated every year - https://www.amazon.com/Insiders-Graduate-Programs-Counseling-Psychology/dp/1462525725

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
Nam
