What grade? DC developed a severe case of anxiety in middle school. We never pursued a 504, but in math class after a panic attack she and the teacher worked it out that if she gave a signal the teacher would quietly excuse her to head to the counselor's office. Luckily issues have resolved after much therapy, but sometimes it doesn't have to be an official or documented thing if there's a specific root cause and the teachers will work with you.
If you're dealing with a situation where your child needed to use it regularly, or it's tied to an IEP or 504, you could get something more formal in place.

A pass that allows a student to visit the counseling office when they’re feeling overwhelmed and need a reset.

Official or unofficial?
Officially - have a diagnosis of anxiety or depression or adhd or…etc, initiate the 504 process with an email.
Unofficially: work it out with an administrator that given x (anxiety, test, panic attack), using (hand signal, note), larla can go to y.
It probably depends on the school, the kid, and the age of the kid.
