Talking shouldn’t feel stressful

And it doesn’t have to stay that way.

At Emerald Coast Stuttering, we offer a different approach to stuttering for all ages.

Real support for real-life communication—delivered online, wherever you are in Florida.

Speaking can feel harder than it should

  • changing words mid-sentence

  • avoiding certain situations

  • feeling pressure building as you talk

  • replaying conversations afterwards

Maybe you’ve tried speech therapy before and it didn’t quite carry over into real life.

You’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong.


This isn’t traditional speech therapy

At Emerald Coast Stuttering, we take a different approach to stuttering therapy.

Instead of focusing on “fixing” speech or forcing fluency, we focus on:

  • reducing pressure around talking

  • building more ease in real-life situations

  • helping you say what you want to say

Because communication is about more than how speech sounds—it’s about how it feels.

Sessions are provided online, so you can access support from home.

Adults

Navigate work conversations, meetings, phone calls, and everyday interactions
without constantly managing your speech.

Teens

Build communication skills, reduce avoidance, and feel more confident speaking in school and social settings.

Children

Support early communication in a way that builds confidence—not pressure, and help your child feel comfortable expressing themselves.

What Will Change

  • speaking with less tension

  • saying what you actually want to say

  • avoiding less

  • participating more fully in conversations

Not perfect speech—more freedom in how you communicate.

Nikki Martin, M.S. CCC-SLP ‍ ‍‍ ‍Owner, Speech-Language Pathologist

I’m Nikki Martin, a speech-language pathologist and the founder of Emerald Coast Stuttering. I’ve spent over 20 years helping people with communication, with a special focus on supporting people who stutter.

My approach to stuttering therapy goes beyond speech techniques. It’s about reducing pressure, building confidence, and helping you feel more comfortable communicating in everyday life.

I understand how frustrating and exhausting it can feel to constantly manage your speech—and therapy shouldn’t add to that pressure.

You don’t have to navigate stuttering alone
