More about Nicholas

  • 7 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

Hey there! My name is Nicholas Pantages and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri. I have been practicing in the field for seven years, working with individuals who are overcoming depression, anxiety, stress, loss, and severe mental illness. My specialty areas primarily focus on mood disorders, aging, and managing life changes and interpersonal relationships. Therapeutic modalities I rely on heavily include Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I have been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as well.

I'm passionate about working as a team and building off of your strengths to identify paths that can be taken to attain new goals, confront concerns head-on, and radically accept what is out of our control. I think the most important aspects of therapy focus around developing rapport with the individuals I see and supporting them on their journey forward in life.

This is never easy and change takes time. Let's collaborate to address your obstacles, taking steps in the right direction to learn from experience and create a more satisfying sense of self and the potential for a more enjoyable tomorrow!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Nick is great! He is a wonderful therapist.

Reviewed January 2023

I was always apprehensive about therapy. I thought it was a great idea for everyone else, but didn't think that it would benefit me. After hitting a low spot in life, I signed up, have been working with Nicholas for over a month now, and I can say it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Nicholas is a great listener and gives meaningful advice. He is capable of hearing me talk in circles and piecing out & expanding on the most important points. He's compassionate, calm, and collected. I would highly recommend Nicholas to anyone looking for a caring person to help you through a tough time.

It’s been close to one year since I was given the opportunity to work with Nick and I have nothing other than positive things to say about him. He helps me navigate the stressors of life and consistently offers his support. Flexibility and timeliness are impeccable as well. His kindness is unmatchable and he genuinely cares about any and all people. I could not recommend him enough for he is the ideal representation of what a “safe place” feels like through this platform. I am forever grateful for all that I have learned from him thus far and look forward to seeing the progress I make moving forward, learning new ways to cope with life.

From day one I felt confident in Nicholas’s ability to help guide me to living a fuller life. It is great that I can message him and he will respond within 24 hours or less. He has been flexible around my hectic schedule and I am grateful for the support he has been giving me. We have only been touching the tip of the iceberg but even so I am being able to cross over my business and personal coaching to make the small steps toward living a more fulfilled and happier life.
