This sounds like it's more in the territory of a *therapist* therapist, rather than a *speech* therapist. They can better help you deal with the anxiety part of your stutter, since, as you and the other commenter said, it doesn't seem like the stutter itself is going away right now. Talking with a therapist and going to group therapy sessions focused on strategies to handle anxiety helped me think about the physiological processes going on when the anxiety hit, how to think about them differently and not just as a permanent state of things, and come up with strategies that work for me to help in the moment and in the moments leading up to public speaking or whatever was triggering it.
