I agree with you that stuttering is neurological, which I think you are implying. Speech therapy offers a variety of approaches to help people reduce overthinking about and evaluating speech or stuttering.

Each technique is fundamentally different. But there's a common thread that runs through them all: learning to reduce overthinking.
