CBT for some works: In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented. In addition, patients learn specific skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. These skills involve identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviors.

Exposure therapy: I recommend doing an Internet search for "exposure therapy." Basically, this is gradually exposing yourself to the stimulus you are afraid of. This might start by simply looking at still pictures of spiders and slowly increasing your exposure eventually moving to holding realistic toy spiders and ultimately to visiting your local pet store and holding a live spider.
