Imo speech therapy is there to help you achieve what you want to achieve. The problem of stuttering is not disfluency, it's being afraid of ordering what you want to order, it's having so much tension in your speech it's exhausting to talk, avoiding situations you don't want to avoid, not being able to comfortably tell a joke. You can overcome all those things and still stutter. Stuttering is not something that can be "cured" because it is part of who you are. Therapy which focuses on fluency implies that stuttering is bad and wrong. This implies that whenever you stutter it is bad and wrong and whenever you don't it is correct and good. But you are not bad and wrong. Stuttering isn't something you can control and it's not a defect, it's a difference. It's a difference made much worse by our learned behaviors in trying to avoid it and societal stigma. Trying to control your speech is like fighting a natural part of who you are and that creates a dissatisfying conflict because you shouldn't be fighting against something you can't control, isn't your fault, is not inherently bad, and most importantly is part of you. That said, if you're happy and becoming more confident doing what you're doing, keep it up. But if you're not or it starts to wear thin, there are other approaches to therapy.
