How to help someone with cope OCD and anxiety problems

My little sister is 6 and has recently been diagnosed with OCD and anxiety problems. When she starts having a anxiety attacks because of these problems she get's very violent. She has throw chairs and bitten people before and her dance therapy teacher is actually starting to become scared of her. Recently it's gotten worse however, and she has had an attack almost every day for a month now. She also began hoarding things and wont even throw away wrappers from food sometimes, and she starts having an anxiety attack when she thinks she's lost something. I'm getting worried because I feel like no one will be able to help her or I'm not trying hard enough to help her. Does anyone have any coping techniques or advice they could give me on how to help her deal with the OCD and anxiety problem. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

My Dear
Please read, understand and then try Emotional Freedom Technique on your little sister. I am hopeful that 3-4 sessions will help a lot and after 10 sessions her OCD will be over forever. Search EFT on google and read
