Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can be helpful.
The type of therapy for panic attacks varies and often depends on knowing more specifics about the panic feelings. You might make note of what seems to trigger your panicky feelings and use relaxing, grounding meditations (see the many apps to help with this) before or during those times. Often cognitive behavioral therapy is found helpful, as is anxiety focused psychodynamic psychotherapy, while primarily it is the level of therapeutic alliance that is developed between you and the therapist that bring about the most success. Good that you are wanting to reach out. It can take talking with, or seeing a few therapists to see which one would offer the best connection for you. Unfortunately, it is often currently difficult to find therapists that have openings, don't give up and check with your family doctor and/or your medical mental health insurance. Good luck to you.
