I had a bout of bad panic attacks when I was around 20 then again when I was 28 when my brother passed. The shite would just come out of nowhere, which would cause even more anxiety because you don't want to be embarrassed as hell over feeling like you're about to pass the hell out for no direct reason. They put me on a really mild dose of Ativan (FWIW they gave me Xanax initially and all that shite did was make me comatose). I would take the Ativan when the initial signs would come on. Made a world of difference. Haven't had a panic attack in about 4 years. So I wouldn't necessarily rule out medication if it gets severe enough.
Maybe she can look into something like yoga. The breath control might help with the anxiety as well.

I had some social anxiety as a kid. The 2 best things that helped with this was getting a job as a waiter. This job forced me to talk to strangers and do a type of sales as well. Joining a fraternity in college threw me into a new and huge social situation where I was forced to adapt quickly. Also probably working out helped a lot. As I started to get bigger and stronger it helped my confidence as well as decreased the number of people who wanted to mess with me.
