Paula- I don't think I have ever used those strategies with teens, as I am not sure they would comfortable with them. As for psychological counseling with my clients, teens and adults who stutter are just as likely to need counseling as those who do not stutter. If I refer out for counseling it is for a concern unrelated to stuttering. I think we as SLP's are better trained to deal with the emotional issues surrounding stuttering than psychologists. Now when it comes to suicidal thoughts, abuse, generalized anxiety that affects daily life, etc, that is not within our realm of expertise.
