Claritin is an Antihistamine but it’s not been associated with helping reduce anxiety some Anti histamines like Vistaril have been associated with that but it’s a prescription

Talk to your pediatrician about your anxiety. Claritin is not expected to help with anxiety unless allergies or congestion makes your anxiety worse.

Antihistamines can make you sleepy which may help indirectly with anxiety. It would be preferable to try to address the underlying causes of your anxiety. There are many ways to treat anxiety that are free: mindfulness, mediation, yoga, breathing exercises, physical activity, etc.
