Behavior therapy: This therapy focuses on exposing you to your fear in a planned environment and using relaxation techniques to control anxiety and panic. Small steps and gradual success enable you to become more confident about managing fear and anxiety-inducing situations.
Cognitive-behavioral therapy: This therapy teaches you to understand your patterns of thinking and change anxious responses before they take over.

Other therapies which are commonly used as alternative therapies for the treatment of anxiety are:
Hydrotherapy
Aromatherapy
Meditation and yoga
Acupuncture
Chinese medicines
