From what I see doing interview training for a living: more practice is the key. Practice with mock interviews until you reach a point of (almost) de-sensitization.

But before you take mock interviews, you must prepare. Otherwise the feedback and the experience is not very useful. Do a number of problems and a variety of problems from numerous sources available. Only then do mock interviews. Preferably with experienced engineers. Use pramp.com for free mock interviews.

The process can take months, but you're bound to get better that way. Practice is the only way anybody gets better at anything, anyway.

Also note, that this interview practice is going to be useful to you in your daily work also. Training for interviews is that beautiful hack, that has dividends in a number of different ways.
