I've had a stutter for as long as I can remember and have noticed a correlation between how nervous I am about speaking and how much I would stutter.
Eventually I just accepted that I will stutter at some point when talking and tried not to worry about it and my stuttering improved a lot. Like others have said here, I do believe anxiety and the fear of potentially stuttering will actually cause you to stutter more (at least in my case this was true).
One positive though is that I am very good at finding similar words to convey the same meaning when in mid-sentence if I feel a stutter is coming.
