Can a mantra-based guided meditation help my anxious mind?

My anxiety comes from a million racing thoughts that won't stop for anything. I've been advised to use a mantra as a counter-focus to the mental chatter. Would a guided meditation that uses a simple, repetitive mantra be the most effective tool to give my busy, analytical mind a single point of focus to break the cycle of overthinking and calm my anxiety?
