I think you can do your own CBT type interventions at home, but if your DD is open to counseling and it's affordable, some kids really love it. It helps them to have some language to label their feelings and some directly taught coping skills.
I don't think it's over the top, if it's affecting anyone's QOL at home.
I also agree with this. I rather wish someone had told me earlier that similar behaviors on the part of my DD were a sign of broader issues with anxiety. She's cycled through various fears and worries over time.
