Quite possibly: Two approaches which can be beneficial: 1. Cognitive behavioral & 2. Behavior modification. Recommend finding a local therapist who is proficient in one of these methods. Take care.

CBT: Seek a cognitive-behavioral therapist who specializes in phobias. One method they use is systematic desensitization which slowly and incrementally brings the person closer and closer to the thing they are afraid of in slow, graduated steps that help make the anxiety more tolerable.
