When I worked as a speech pathologist, this was one thing I strongly discouraged. I wanted my students to talk to me, but I warned them that every time they used ‘like’ inappropriately I would repeat it after them. That took care of 75%. If it was a deeply ingrained habit, I began the session with 20 chips. Every time they said ‘like’ inappropriately, they lost a chip. How many chips at the end of the session determined the reward offered.
Like, I like the word like too, like, you know what I mean. Like, I like it! Like, what do you think? Sometimes people constantly say the word “Like” too much in a conversation.

On the podcast Two Psychologists Four Beers they say “like” (and one says “yeah”) so much I had to take a break from it.

Don’t discourage him Peter, that’s longest conversation he’s had with you in months.
