What is a good solid novena someone could pray if they are struggling with fear and anxiety?
 
It would depend on the type of anxiety, the symptoms. Some anxiety worsens with repetitive prayer. As much as I believe in the power of prayer for healing I also agree with some of the finest theologians: doctors, therapists, healers are here to help us too. Be thoughtful and discerning about your healthcare and do pray for your healthcare provider as well as others afflicted with anxiety.

St Dymphna is an interesting saint for mental afflictions.

Also St. Gerard is underutilized and his life is incredibly inspiring. His faith and miracles were truly humble and powerful.
 
Don’t know a novena, but here’s a nice prayer from St. Frances Xavier Cabrini:

FORTIFY me with the grace of Your Holy Spirit and give Your peace to my soul that I may be free from all needless anxiety, solicitude and worry. Help me to desire always that which is pleasing and acceptable to You so that Your will may be my will.
