How Can Severe Anxiety And Hypochondria Be Treated?

Hello doctor, I am writing to you from New York and wanted to know if you are available via facetime or call if I would like to set up sessions with you from here. I have a major anxiety issue which could possibly be depression and the fear is dying and constant fear of health issues. This is impacting my daily life as I have unbearable chronic pain in the stomach, back and though most of my medical reports are ok however I am still getting more tests done. My fear of my health constantly is making me lose my interest in anything and that is all I think about all day. I have a wonderful husband a great job and a great kid and a good life here yet i am always thinking and anxious and only talk about my health and I need help.
