We do receive some instruction on coumseling, but ultimately, that's not our area of expertise, so we can't really treat the anxiety aspect directly. I do not stutter but have strughled with low self esteem, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, etc. I almost majored in psychology and took a few classes, but I'm not licensed in it. I do try to talk to my students about their strengths, self-advocacy (e.g. teaching others that it's something you're born with), etc.
