There are many theoretic orientations and interventions for anxiety, and it depends on the specific person and the type of anxiety. Examples of therapies are CBT (cognitive behavior therapy), mindfulness training, ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy). If there are OCD aspects or others, more specialized therapies might also be indicated, e.g. ERP (Exposure Response Training).
Yes. But first, get a thorough check-up by your primary care physician. Sometimes anxiety has a medical basis. Psychologists are very skilled at teaching patients anxiety reducing techniques such as relaxation skills and mindfulness. Cognitive behavioral therapy is also quite effective and evidence based.
Absolutely.
