Hi, I'm Diana
Founder & LICSW Clinical Therapist
I started Aligned Counseling to help young people find balance in the messiness of life. My treatment approach is genuine, realistic, and uniquely tailored to each client’s needs and journey.
I provide therapy for young adults, teens, and college students with anxiety to help them find balance and gain new perspectives on how they see the world and themselves.
I believe having an outside perspective allows us to look at our automatic thinking from a different angle and notice potentially damaging self-talk. I am here to play an active role in your therapeutic process, by asking questions that help you reframe your thoughts and see the whole picture.
I use strategic, evidence-based therapy techniques to help you learn new strategies and perspectives that make it easier to live with anxiety and other mental health problems. We’ll dig deep into the root causes of your anxiety and untangle the core beliefs that have crept into your mind throughout the years. I don’t believe the goal should be about banishing anxiety for good – it’s about learning how to manage it to live better alongside it.
My goal is to have my clients leave sessions feeling confident to handle the hard days and enjoy every good moment. I genuinely want you to succeed, and will be there cheering you on when you make even the smallest steps of progress!

About Diana Kutulos, LCSW – Online Therapist for Teens & Young Adults
Experience
I completed my clinical training at a not-for-profit mental health agency, where I worked closely with children, teens, and families facing challenges like anxiety and depression.
My time there led me to discover my passion for helping older teens and young adults, which I continued to nurture in all my subsequent therapeutic roles.
I founded Aligned Counseling in 2024.

As a Human
Therapists are human, too! I currently live in Boston with my dog Buzz, who you might see pop up in some of our online sessions and will definitely hear me talk about. I grew up in New York which has made me a true lover of pizza and bagels.
I admit that my guilty pleasure is bingeing reality TV (anything from Survivor to The Bachelor – and everything in between). I am also a big reader – and love getting the best recommendations from my clients!
