Mo'i is certainly an incredibly "heady" kava, but I am not sure if it's the best variety for anxiety. Some people find it almost "too" heady (I personally love it). Mahakea might be a better choice for those suffering from anxiety.

I've taken Moi while in a state of quite some anxiety and it didn't do anything. There is a concept that anxiety can be in the body (and the mind of course) but at some point you can feel adrenalline in your arms and maybe a bit in the legs. Mahakea is great for that. Moi is good more only for the mind.
So what to do? Take both! I take 2/3rds Mahakea and 1/3rd Moi as my reference go-to kava. This does me welll. Then over the session by the third or fourth shell I switch to 2/3rs Moi and 1/3 Mahakea, and that really gets things going well. The idea is that once you've won the battle with the body you can focus more on the mind.
Lots of fun things to try and experiment with. Ultimately it will be a personal thing, you might find your anxiety is all mental and has only a small body component, for example.

I've had good results mixing micro GHK for different results as well.
Since I normally have Kava in the evening, I tend to use Nene as my base. From there I add other Kavas depending on what I want or need.
For example, if I want sedating + balanced effects: 2 tbsp Nene, 1tbsp Mahakea.
If I want a "headier" effect, and am not too concerned about getting to bed right away, I might do 2 tbsp Nene + 1 tbsp Moi. Or, 1 tbsp Nene + 1tbsp Mahakea + 1 tbsp Moi.
