Yes, but..: As you have noted, stress can increase symptoms. It takes a good speech therapist and/or a psychologist to work together to teach you how to control your anxiety other than with speech problems. It takes hard work and practice, but absolutely can be conquered. Go into treatment with realistic expectations, though. It is not going to happen after 1 or 2 sessions - it takes time and patience.
