Reassurance: Let her know lots of people have anxiety and it's treatable--in the meantime you love her & she is safe.

listen: Without knowing the cause of her anxiety, it is difficult to offer specific advice. But it would be hard to go wrong by letting her know that you are there, interested in her thoughts and feelings, and willing to listen to whatever she might want to talk to you about (versus jumping in with advice and "solutions"). Let her know that you see and recognize (vs. Share) her distress.
