I have two thoughts for you… first, there is online therapy for stuttering, but the therapist probably needs to be licensed to practice in your area. Where are you? Second, good speech therapy for stuttering needs to transition beyond the (in this case virtual) therapy room; fluency achieved in therapy won’t translate beyond therapy if you don’t work on the fear. This might be possible if you can ‘bring your therapist with you’ on your mobile, but I am skeptical. Third (okay I lied about the two thoughts), you will always stutter; chasing fluency is a fool’s errand. More control, less fear. Fourth (well, damn), get some support! Find others who stutter - they are the tribe you didn’t know you had.
