Can try online: If cost is a big issue, and if a patient is already improved on a single anxiety drug, then she can try looking for a psychiatrist (MD) or psychologist (PhD) online, such as on HealthTap's Concierge premium service. Availability varies by location. Psychiatric drugs are usually not prescribed online, but counselling can be done online. Psychologists are not MD's and don't prescribe drugs anyway.
