Getting to know Rachael Olson
I am a LCSW, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in the treatment of gambling addiction and related behavioral health concerns. With a deep commitment to helping individuals regain control over their lives, I bring compassion, warmth, and evidence-based practice to every client relationship.
I earned a master’s degree in clinical social work at Simmons University and have had several years of experience providing individual and group therapy in both clinical and community-based settings. I integrate cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and harm reduction approaches to help clients understand the roots of their behaviors and develop sustainable strategies for recovery.
Recognizing addiction often coexists with stress, anxiety, depression, financial strain, to name a few, and work holistically to address both emotional wellbeing and practical life challenges. My approach is strengths-based, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, empowering clients to make meaningful changes at their own pace.
Through empathy, skill, and professional dedication, I strive to help individuals rebuild balance, reconnect with their values, and move toward lasting recovery.

I have tried to manage this on my own for a long time. Working with her has been different. She listens in a way that actually makes you feel heard and her understanding of gambling goes beyond the surface level.
