About Nicholas
Nicholas Pantages is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Missouri. He brings seven years of clinical experience helping people navigate depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and major life changes. He works in a straightforward, team-based way and focuses on practical steps people can take to feel better.
Nicholas emphasizes building a strong working relationship and using individual strengths to move forward. Nicholas often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Background and approach
He also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. He has experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and may include it when processing traumatic memories. People come to him for a range of concerns including mood disorders, relationship strain, grief, addiction, parenting stress, and career challenges.
He also supports those dealing with aging and caregiver stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and issues tied to identity and self-worth. Nicholas aims to work at a pace that fits each person’s needs. Sessions emphasize clear goals, concrete coping tools, and practice between meetings.
Nicholas pairs skill-based work with space to talk through hard feelings and life decisions. He encourages small, manageable steps toward change rather than sudden, sweeping shifts. He frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person’s priorities guide the work.
Nicholas seeks to help people identify what matters to them and take realistic steps toward those values. He acknowledges that change takes time and supports steady progress along the way.

Online support
Online therapy with skills-based and trauma-informed care
Many online sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT offers concrete exercises and short homework tasks that fit well into video or messaging sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters most and committing to small actions that match those values, which can be explored through conversation and brief practices during remote sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor the mix of skills, values work, and processing to your needs. This is a collaborative decision that can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversation time. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief coaching, skill reminders, or check-ins between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and can fit therapy into busy days.
