Nicholas Pantages, LCSW

Nicholas Pantages is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Missouri with seven years of experience supporting adults through depression, anxiety, stress, loss, and more severe mental health challenges. He works extensively with mood disorders, aging-related concerns, and life transitions, and brings focused attention to interpersonal relationships and the practical demands of daily living. As an LCSW he holds a clinical social work license that qualifies him to provide psychotherapy and care coordination in a clinical setting.

Nicholas uses evidence-informed approaches in his work, relying heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and he has received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). He emphasizes a strengths-based, team-oriented process that helps people set achievable goals, confront pressing concerns, and practice radical acceptance of what falls outside personal control. That collaborative stance guides his work with issues such as grief, addictions, relationship strain, sleep problems, parenting challenges, and caregiving stress.

Building rapport is central to his practice, and he aims to support clients through incremental steps toward better coping, clearer self-understanding, and a more satisfying day-to-day life. Nicholas focuses on practical strategies and shared decision-making to help people move forward at a sustainable pace.
