If I get a M.S. in clinical psychology from online school Walden university (The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association) will I be able to get into a Clinical PhD program?

I do volunteer work at a inpatient psychiatric ward. I do research and interview patients for the Department of Defense projects.

No, not any decent PhD program.

Well, not literally "can't" but it would not do anything to help.

If one is spending time doing that then they aren't spending time doing research or meaningful clinical experience.
 
I don't think a SUNY program would consider a student whose background was on line but maybe others would.
 
I agree with others. Learning psychology for the end-goal of providing therapy /researching therapeutic techniques needs to be experiential with face-to-face discussions. Any online master's degree for psychology would be questionable, unlike some other fields (like business).
