Treatment of any phobias according to the DSM is as follows:
cognitive behavior therapies such as exposure. They can be graduated and structured.
Relaxation techniques used to be implemented/practiced more, but now often not a part of empirically supported treatments
the most effective way is through exposure treatments, as this reverses the avoidance of and reduction of anxiety-provoking stimuli (in this case spiders).
(All from my psychology notes)
Hope this helps!
