Teenage daughter with anxiety who has anger outbursts

I have a 16 year old daughter who is seeing a psychologist for anxiety. It seems to be helping...When she is feeling anxious she without warning gets into a rage and becomes verbally very abusive. At the moment my husband is very stressed at work so he is finding our daughter's outbursts difficult to handle and unfortunately is not helping calm the situation, and he is getting very angry also. My daughter says or rather screams very hurtful abuse -which after the event I know she doesn't mean- but during an attack I am getting very upset and feel so alone. I know how stressful the last years of school can be, I'm just hoping someone has been through a similar situation and can tell me how they coped.  Thank you
