What worked for us was putting a chair in her room and sitting there watching her till she slept, no talking, just picking her up, putting her back to bed with a kiss if she got up. Slowly I moved the chair into the hallway, then further down until I was in the lounge, I did it over a number of nights.
I have done a similar thing. Just sat on the floor next to the bed not reacting or looking at the little one. For us it worked cos she wasn't getting herself worked up, she felt safe and could then go to sleep. Just move further away each day until she was happy for us to leave and would go to sleep without us having to be there.

Good luck
