How Can Trichotillomania Be Treated?

My child pulls her hair out when she has a headache. She says it feels good and sometimes it helps it go away. One time while we were at the hairdresser she noticed that my daughter had some bald spots on her scalp in one specific area. Is there any treatment she can receive to stop this habit of hers?
