Be mindful of whether you really want to study clinical psych and what to be practitioner, or whether you want to do research on cultural differences in health/pain disparities - the latter is commonly found in social psych department (but wouldn't allow you to be a practtioner). 

A couple general ways to find programs:
- Pull up the top programs in the general field, find the faculty directory, start opening and reading profiles.
- Read articles related to your interests. Look at who is writing them. Look those people up and see if any are faculty at schools with grad programs.
- Go to conferences/events related to your interests and pay attention to who is doing work related to your interests. Talk to them.

I'm sorry, that really sucks!
I can't imagine that there's any chance of getting into a new program for Fall 2020. Most applications were due months ago, most decisions were finalized weeks ago, and a lot of schools suddenly have way more funding problems than they did 2 months ago.
It's also generally really difficult to transfer credits in Ph.D. programs. Occasionally a program will let you count a course you took somewhere else for their requirement, but in general Ph.D.'s are much less about the number of credits and much more about fulfilling the specific classes that program thinks you should have.
I do not have any great suggestions, but maybe:
Check your admission offer? (If you got promised more funding when you accepted there may be some recourse in this situation.*)
Ask around if there are any other funding opportunities at the school, like maybe another professor with a research assistant position?
Ask if there's any way to get a masters degree on your way out?
Do some hard thinking about whether you're willing to take out loans to self-fund until you can secure funding again? (This is probably a bad idea!)
Think about what you might want to with a year out of school while you re-apply to start somewhere else?
[*Just want to note somewhere here for anyone reading this who hasn't started a Ph.D. program yet that you should really think hard about how you are going to fund your Ph.D. all the way to the end of getting the Ph.D. before you decide to start a program. It's usually a bad idea to go to a school if they aren't promising at least 5 years of funding.]

If you're still waiting to hear back from programs you might prefer, don't accept until April 15th.
Send them a polite and clear email saying that you are excited to be accepted but are waiting to hear back from other programs before making a decision.
The whole point of the April 15th deadline is that you get to wait until then to make a decision.
One reason they probably want to know is so they can offer that spot to someone else if you're not accepting. It helps them if they can offer that spot to someone else before April 15th, after which that person is more likely to have already accepted a spot somewhere else.
If for some reason you are waiting to hear back from programs you're probably not interested in anyway, then maybe you should accept the offer you got and withdraw your other applications. That could help all the schools make their decisions about who else to accept.
Sometimes you can also piece together that the schools you're waiting on aren't actually going to send out any more acceptances. Like, sometimes people have info they share on these forums. If that's the case, you might go ahead and accept the offer.

I'd skip it.
I don't include submitted work on my CV at all. I only add things once they've been accepted. People have lots of different feelings about this, but my personal sense is that putting in prep/submitted stuff feels like a stretch and doesn't represent a meaningful accomplishment. The mark of achievement is peer reviewers saying the article should be published.
Also, if I was going to send an updated CV, I would just send it. I wouldn't waste their time with a call/email first. I'd just send it with a short/direct/polite note, along the lines of "If it's possible to add my updated CV to my file, I'd appreciate it." 

Definitely try to present and publish more!
Try to do something job-wise with the year break that is relevant and interesting.
Be able to explain how the year out of school makes you better prepared for the PhD than if you'd gone straight into it.
If you can use the time to get a couple presentations/publications on your CV, it's definitely a good idea to wait a year. (That means going after that stuff ASAP so you can get it done in the next year, so it's on your CV when you apply next fall.)

I definitely got better results from the (social) psych programs where I'd emailed a faculty member before applying!

I think the main questions to ask are, more or less:
- Are you taking graduate students this year?
- Do you think I might be a good fit for the program?

I got a few possitive answers, and a couple of answers that saved me from applying to schools that would have been a waste of time! (For example, one professor said she was leaving the school that year.)

I really don't know specifics.

I'd just recommend[ searching "[STATE] alternative teaching certification."

Like, here's stuff that pops up for NY:
http://www.nysed.gov/college-university-evaluation/alternative-teacher-preparation-programs
http://www.highered.nysed.gov/tcert/certificate/teachalt.html
https://www.teachercertificationdegrees.com/certification/new-york-alternative/

Generally, the requirements for career changers with advanced degrees are easier to meet than the general requirements for teacher certification (which is what it looks to me like you're quoting above).

Lots of states have various kinds of "alternative certification" for people who are switching career paths.

I've been using ResearchGate a lot to get full-text articles. Some people have things posted publicly, so anyone can download them, but also lots of other researchers will send you articles if you request them through the site. I filled out my page with all my publications/presentations too. I don't know if that's made a difference to whether people have been willing to send me copies of their work. A few people have also read my work on the site. I hope but have no confirmation that the site will prove to be useful in networking sorts of ways too.
