Cognitive behavioral therapy with a trained Counsellor/psychotherapist can often be the most helpful thing, but SNRI meds like venlafaxine & escitalopram, or SSRI meds like sertraline & fluoxetine are usually 1st line therapy. Spiritual Counselling with prayer & Bible reading can also help. Our world is very stressful, especially with COVID added in!
