How to help someone gain confidence over their fears?

My best friend who lives in Ireland, & I live in America, wanna FaceTime (video chatting through iPhones). But the problem is being filmed on camera happens to be her bigger fear & I need to find a way to help her overcome her fear of that, & I tried things like:

Talk to a piece of paper thinking its me, & when your done with that, go to talking to a doll, then try talking to yourself in mirror about me, & then go try talking to a camera (without recording) & if that helps any then try to FaceTime me.

I tried multiple things to help her understand that it'll be ok, but I can't find anything. Any help?

Colton,

The root cause of all mental health problems, including camera shyness, is the fear of life. You and your friend both have the ability to snuff this out with one simple act. I encourage you to read more at justonelook.org.
