About Nicholas

Nicholas Pantages is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with seven years of experience helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and severe mental illness. He focuses on mood disorders, aging and geriatric concerns, and the practical challenges that come with life transitions and interpersonal relationships. Nicholas draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in his work and has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), using these methods to help clients build skills, process difficult memories, and shift unhelpful patterns.

Nicholas takes a strengths-based, collaborative approach that centers on building rapport and working together to clarify goals. He emphasizes radical acceptance of what cannot be changed while identifying actionable steps clients can take to address obstacles and pursue meaningful change. Nicholas supports clients in exploring their values, confronting challenges directly, and developing coping strategies that fit their daily lives.

Change often requires time and repeated effort, and Nicholas aims to guide clients through that process with practical tools and steady support. He partners with individuals to learn from experience, strengthen their sense of self, and move toward a more satisfying and manageable future.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Nicholas Pantages integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and he has training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to improve mood and functioning, and it is often used for depression, anxiety, and stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can help with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping with crises. EMDR is a trauma-informed method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact for people who have experienced traumatic events.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicholas collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors treatment plans so therapy feels practical and achievable while honoring the client’s pace and priorities.



Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and access support from the comfort of familiar surroundings. Nicholas uses these formats to provide consistent, skills-focused work and to help clients apply strategies between sessions in real time.
