Anxiety: I would start with counseling. The therapist will be able to evaluate her and determine the need for medication. If indicated, give the medication a try. I have found it to be very effective, along with therapy. You can always stop it.

Seek child therapist: I agree that medication for a four year old is not first course of action to take. I would take her to a psychologist what specializes in children, possibly even children's anxiety disorders.
