Yes. Psychologists are trained to help individuals with anxiety symptoms. Such therapies that have been proven effective include DBT and CBT. Thank you for your inquiry.
Yes, a psychologist can help with anxiety but helping you to identity the fears, level of intensity, what the fear may be rooted in, any irrational thinking patterns that may be beginning to create new lens of how we interpret our reality and give you the coping tools to undo that kind of thinking. They can also teach you deep breathing techniques, mindfulness, grounding techniques, and calming skills.
Clinical psychologists are generally able to successfully treat the symptoms of anxiety. This would include all of the variations of anxiety disorders including panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias and others. Evidence-based treatment includes what is known as "cognitive-behavioral therapy" or CBT, which is often employed in the treatment of anxiety disorders.
Yes, that is what a Psychologist does.
