Acknowledge that their anxiety or fear is real to them. Talk about the likelihood of whatever they are anxious about actually happening and possible outcomes. Teach breathing techniques or help them learn how to medicate during a stressful situation.

Useful activity:
You can put anxiety on the stand and talk about all the evidence that points to their current faulty thought at that time and all the evidence that contradicts it.
