yes it is used for any situation that causes someone anxiety/ panic/ phobia and many more things too.
around here all the mental health treatment providers use all kinds of therapy approaches.
you can find out what your therapist or another one in general uses for their treatment options of their clients is by asking them what therapies they offer. in general most if not all know how to use CBT, DBT, EMDR and a few other commonly used approaches.
but you wont usually know if yours or those around your location use what until you ask them.
