If you address a problem or task or an issue or if you address yourself to it,you try to understand it or deal with it,or handle it,
eg;-The manager sought to address those Money fears when he spoke at the meeting.
Throughout the year we have addressed ourselves to the problem of money-making!

to deal with it=to solve a problem=to address a problem.
