When I was working as a psychotherapist (taking a break due to health issues), and a client described feelings of anxiety about going to DMV, I likely would have explored this feeling with the client and coping skills they can use to manage the feeling. Of course there are a gazillion websites that describe coping skills for anxiety but sometimes talking to an outsider can help. Not to “prescribe” years of therapy bit just short-term help, such as through a couple of phone sessions via an EAP via their employer.
