Visit - in person or virtually - your schools' career center to find internship opportunities in your course of study. Internships are a great way to gain experience! And they are short-term. Many internships are paying too.

Maybe a school psychologist position? Check out your local school district's website.

I also earned BA in Psychology but I found out that I would need a Ph.D or at least Psy.D? or Masters in Counseling to do the therapy work I wanted to do. I did not want to get into debt getting my Ph.D and ended up working at corporations. I would suggest going ahead and getting a degree beyond BA. You will have a lot more choices

Unfortunately, there are not a lot of jobs available if you only have a bachelor's degree in psychology. You will need a master's degree if you want to do private practice. You may want to consider a BSW (bachelor's in social work). You can work right away with a bachelor's and still work towards a master's degree. It allows you to work with many types of populations and do clinical work if you choose.
