We've had good luck with cognitive behavioral therapy to address anxiety. DD started at age 9. The first 6 months was putting out fires, and then another year to deal with the anxiety more directly.
We also let DD get a lot more involved in soccer than we'd allowed before. She'd been playing rec league, and we moved her to club. The 6 hours a week of heavy activity in something she loves is miraculous. She has less energy and time to spend on anxiety and perfectionism.
