Sometimes my voice gets really strained and its embarassing and difficult to talk to people both physically and mentally.
A speech therapist.
Yes, that's what they're called. Yes, you'd think they'd use a fancier term

Are they usually covered by public health referrals or private insurance?
That would depend on where you live.
