Face it head on
This does not mean blindly running and head bashing. It means thinking about it, getting to the source of it, with or without help. This can take some time but other times the answers are clear before you start.
Then face it.If your fear is heights, with help and care you can start one step at a time. Take some deep breaths and then another step. When you have really had enough, stop until the next time. Eventually you will be able to climb to the top rung of the ladder.
The most common human fear is speaking in public. I can still talk one on one, but in front of a group, I waver

First, humble yourself and decide that in order to overcome fear, you need God's help. 1 Peter 5:6 says, "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time."
Second, make a decision that you would cast all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all on Him and trust Him to teach you what you need to know to change fear into faith. 1 Peter 5:7 says, "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
Third, you'll overcome fear when you take a stand against the devil, declaring him to be the liar while choosing to believe God, accepting everything He said as truth! 1 Peter 5:8-9 says, "Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings."
But if you're not into all these religious stuffs, remember that fear is illusory; it cannot live. Courage is eternal, it will not die. Perils, calamities, dangers are the certain lot of every man who is a denizen of this world. Therefore, fortify your mind with courage and patience.
Fortitude, courage, presence of mind will sustain you through all dangers. Just as a rock on the sea-shore stands firm and the dashing of the waves does not affect it even a bit, even so a man who is endowed with courage is not affected by the dark perilous waves. He stands adamant in all trying conditions and circumstances and comes out victorious.

Why do you want to overcome it? Do you want to?
I think you need to start by truly wanting to lose that fear and understanding why. Some fears aren't all that bad, if they keep you safe.
