A “normal” disfluency that I have treated is to reduce the number of “likes” or “you knows” that people interject into their speech and which can be very distracting. A very important step in this process is helping the individual become aware of when they do it. I also believe that awareness is also a very important step in working with someone who stutters. They need to know exactly what happens at the moment of stuttering and what they are doing, thinking, and feeling.
