If I can ask, what life stage are you at (school, college work etc)? I've made a real concerted effort recently to take ownership of it. I've started a new job role in the last six months, it's all been remote and all over the phone / video calls. When I've started working with some people more regularly I've just given them a heads up that I do stutter and some days are worse than others, and not to worry if there is a pause on the phone, that's it's likely me and not the internet. This is a scary thing to do and I won't offer empty platitudes that it will all suddenly be okay, but its generally well received and also makes you seem like more of a 'team player'. It doesn't help and doesn't excuse some of the worst reactions but sometimes people genuinely don't know what to do with contorted face and stumbling words, it's a bit like giggling when you get bad news. Any small steps to let people know you stutter whilst demonstrating you are a smart and competent cookie (which I'm sure you are) really help. Just FYI I'm having a bit of a run and hide day today after smashing phone chats etc. for a few weeks. Was struggling and debilitated massively a lot of last year by it. Sometimes you need to hammer through and face what you fear, but sometimes it's good to do the bare minimum on a bad day and take a running start after a rest. Also the two aren't necessary linked, but i had a rough mental health patch last year, any therapy you can lay your hands on is great, it won't necessary improve the stutter, but can help circuit break any negative feedback loops and stop the anxiety weighing on your back more. If any of this is helpful, use it, if not toss it out. ​ Note: edited to fix a typo.
