Keep them on your team. Champion them. Foster them. Help them learn the things you're good at: presenting, politics, deck building. Whatever. Their success is your success.
And don't doubt yourself. Pick up some new tricks from the but know you're probably great in others eyes the way they are in yours.
This is going to happen your whole career. Keep your head down. Remind yourself of your own strengths. Learn from them. And remember, people will leapfrog back and forth their whole career
Anxiety is definitely not a healthy mindset for writing. But panic is! Turn that anxiety into panic and BOOM. You'll be golden.
Joking aside, you're probably just getting in your own head. It happens. We're often more critical or our own work than we are of others. Regardless of what we may project.
Don't try to compete with them. Unless it's friendly competition. (Not one-sided "friendly," actual friendly.) You're playing for the same team and you can both feed off each other and make each other better. Unless you take the knives out.
I think the main keyword here is "anxiety" and if it's true, I want you to know that it's okay.
If the junior happens to be someone you can get along with well, you can probably compliment them later, by literally saying that "You've been doing great and I was kinda intimidated by you, lol" but at that time, you're obviously got over it already.
Being a good copywriter is a matter of adaptability and it's something that we do all our life. A little bump here and there is normal.
Embrace it, embrace them. Don’t stifle them in the process. Collaborate and understand them and their interests. You have the capabilities but sometimes a shift in inspiration is all that it is to turn out better ideas all around. They say “iron sharpens iron” so help each other. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable and make a shift where you feel needed. You are there for a reason. Keep yourself inspired!

Good point. Thank you!
Improve. Put more time in than them. Study work more than them. Put more thought into how you frame ideas.

Git gud
Try to destroy their career. That’s the only way you’re going to survive. And whatever you do, don’t try to control that sceptic paranoia.
Use it!
They’re trying way harder than you. Eventually, this business will beat them down, and they’ll grow scared of the Juniors below them.
Good work is about your unique POV, not necessarily talent 🤷🏻♂️ and also try not to care so much. There’s plenty of work to go around lol
