* Animal type
For example the fear of spiders (arachnophobia) and the fear of snakes (ophidiophobia).
* Natural environment type: if the fear is cued by objects in the natural environment, such as storms, heights, or water. This subtype generally has a childhood on set. If a person has the fear of water they are more likely to have another fear like the fear of storms. These situations maybe dangerous, so mild to moderate fear can be adaptive. If the fear is just a passing fear, for example, being worried or cautious in dangerous or risky areas is not a phobia. These fears have to be presistent and cause distress or impairment. For example avoiding a boat ride or going on trip because afraid of a storm.
* Situational type
Like the fear of small confined spaces (claustrophobia) and being "afraid of the dark," (nyctophobia).
* Blood/injection/injury type
This situational phobia consists of a persistent, debilitating fear of blood (seeing it or expelling it), bodily injury of any type, and injection of one’s own body with a needle. Many people may have mild fears of these types of situations, but those with a blood/injection/injury type situational phobia are seriously impaired when even a thought of these situations occur. They may avoid certain situations, places, and careers in order to avoid their fear. A panic-type reaction can be triggered by the sight or even thought of any type of blood/injection/injury image. This reaction can be in the form of dizziness, fainting, etc. There is nothing physically wrong with a person with this type of phobia, but they still have these physical reactions.Generally, phobias cause distress, impairment, and are excessive of an expected response to a particular situation.
* Other
Like the fear of the number 13 (triskaidekaphobia), and the fear of clowns (coulrophobia).
* Separation Anxiety Disorder

I'm a nurse and I'd never be able to name them all nor do I know them all. However, this site will list them for you. Just page down a little.
