Here are some of the steps which i take usually,

(1) Avoid sudden jump into the porjects without having full awareness on the requirements, brainstorm on the requirements and allow them to ask questions and clarify with the questions

(2) Be clear on the project schedules & mile stones  and do proper time management

(3) If any concerns raised, talk to the person who has raised the concern whether it is the client or your team member and conduct RCA

(4) Stand by with your team member if he is feeling stress for the right reason and pay more focus

(5) Conduct regular project health checks to avoid last minute surprises and it will for sure reduce the stress

(6) Enjoy the success events with the team members

A manager should be a role model for his team rather being a manager. Proper communication with the team and taking care of issues of each member of the team would have a positive impact in the team, which helps the team to perform well.

First let us understand Why Stress is developed in a team member, For any delay or issue we will go charge against a team member in meetings. SO.......

1. No Fault finding in meetings.
2. Never encourage Blame game in meetings.
3. Encourage team members to give out solution to overcome the issue.
4. Have realistic time plan for execution.
5. Always escalate the issue to the line manager along with the Team member, better have personal discussion before writing emails to the managers.
6. Encourage team member to approach you and project team for any issues rather than directly discussing with his Manager.
7. Always stand for your team member.
8. You should be ready to travel for extra miles to support your team member.

Listed above are few things you can do to reduce the stress in team member....... If your team member is having a warm feel about you, they will not have any stress while working for you..... this is my own experience...
