Within the United States there are only a few master's degrees that are very specific to ones major. For example, a master's in social work (MSW), a master of business administration (MBA), etc. Personally I have never seen an abbreviation particular to a masters in counseling. In general, the master's degrees fall into one of two categories. Either a master of arts, or master in science from which many specific programs of study fall. Thus, the abbreviation would be dependent on the school where you achieved the degree, and the approach they preferred, either the M.A., or the M.S..

A Masters in Pastoral Counseling is a Master of Arts degree, abbreviated M.A. It is also sometimes abbreviated, MPC or MAPC, or, if licensure is obtained, MA, LPASTC. One might also reference previous or lower undergraduate degrees, typically higher degrees first, which would allow for even more accurate descriptives such as: MA, LPASTC, BS.
