Brief Answer:
step wise approach

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting with your health concern.

1. Before mangement thorough evaluation of speech and language with underlying stressful condition and/or anxiety disorder should be done which require:
. Neurological opinion
. Speech Therapist opinion.

2. You may search google for, EFT (emotional freedom technique), deep breathing exercises and relaxation techniques.

3. You may try
Pushkarmool : 2 gm
Shudha Hinga (asafoetida) : 1 gm
Go ghrita ( cow's ghee) : 6 gm.. at night with dashmool decoction.

4. I am not sure accupressure will help you without aforementioned evaluation. However your licensed acupuncturist will help make a treatment plan based on your underlying and associated symptoms thus examination is mandatory.
