Introduction
Have you ever thought about trying online hypnosis? In recent years, doing hypnosis online has become increasingly popular. I have 12 years of experience conducting online hypnotherapy sessions and I’d like to use that experience to give you an overview of what online hypnotherapy is and how you might benefit from it.
Advancements in video conferencing technology have paved the way for the growth of hypnotherapy online. More people have become familiar with online conferencing platforms thanks to remote work. This has created a new option for people to seek help.

My Experience
My use of online hypnosis began in 2012. Now I do all of my sessions online. My experience shows that this approach can be just as effective, if not more, effective than in-person sessions. Why? One, clients tend to be more relaxed in their own environment. And two, because of this the clients feel more in control. All of this helps the client enter hypnosis quicker and more fully participate in the session.
I have over a decade of experience in doing hypnosis online, I feel confident in this approach.
Advantages of Online Hypnosis
Greater convenience & Time-savings
The biggest benefit of having a hypnosis session online is the convenience. Without the need to drive to an office, you save valuable time. This makes it easier to fit sessions into your busy schedule.
Increased accessibility
Online hypnosis has made it possible for clients who live far from a hypnotist’s office to have access to hypnosis services. This increased accessibility means that more people can benefit from the transformative power of hypnosis.
Easier scheduling (evenings and weekends are available)
With online hypnosis, it’s easier for clients and hypnotists to find a mutually convenient time for sessions, including evenings and weekends. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for those with hectic lifestyles or unconventional work hours.
Comfort in a familiar home environment
Clients often feel more relaxed in their own homes. This can be especially true of women.
I’ve found that this advantage is one of the most important to the success of the client. Being in familiar surroundings allows clients to focus more on the process and better respond to hypnotic suggestions.
Suitable for clients with mobility or transportation issues
Online hypnosis is a game-changer for clients who have mobility challenges or transportation limitations. It ensures that these individuals can still access and benefit from hypnotherapy services without the need for physical travel.
Availability during travel
For clients who travel frequently, such as on business trips, online hypnosis allows them to continue their sessions without interruption. This continuity can be crucial for maintaining progress and achieving desired outcomes.
Access to Specialized Hypnotists
One of the most overlooked advantages of doing hypnotherapy online is that you now have access to hypnotists from all over the world. You are able to select just the right hypnotist for your needs. So, if you need to shop around and find a hypnotist that you feel comfortable working with. Personally, I hope you’ll work with me.
Requirements for Virtual Sessions
Available technologies for online hypnosis
Here are the technical requirements to have an online session.
- A computer or laptop with a camera and microphone. Most laptops produced in the last 10 years have these built in. Your computer will need to have internet access.
- An iPad or similar tablet device with internet access. iPads and other tablets have a camera and microphone built-in.
- A cell phone
That’s all you need as far as equipment.
Video Conferencing
I prefer to use Zoom for my online sessions. There’s no cost to you with Zoom. I’ve found that it is dependable and easy to use.
If you don’t have the option to use Zoom then you can use your cell phone. Just setup a phone call with the hypnotist then set your phone to speaker mode.
I’ve done online sessions using both methods successfully.
Location
For your session, choose somewhere that you won’t be disturbed. Someplace quiet. You will want to be comfortable. Using a recliner, couch, or bed works great. Don’t worry if you need to have your session while you’re traveling. I’ve had clients sit in their cars during their sessions. Parked, not driving!
How Online Hypnosis Sessions Work
Preparing for the Session
Before the session, you will receive an email with a link to a Zoom meeting. In this case, I’m speaking of how I do online hypnosis sessions. If you’re working with another hypnotist they may have a different procedure.
Once you receive the link test your setup by clicking on the link. You should do this well before your first session. When you click the link, Zoom should open and take you to the meeting.
What if Zoom is not installed? In this case, Zoom will prompt you to install the software. Once installed then you’re ready for the actual session.
At the time of the session
To begin your session, click the Zoom link. Be sure to select the computer audio or phone audio option when Zoom opens. It’s your choice as to whether or not to use the camera during the session. It all depends on your comfort level. I’ve done sessions with clients who have the camera on and sessions with the camera off. Either way works. It is nice, however, to at least see the client in the initial session to put a face to the name. That’s my philosophy. Other hypnotists may have a different take on this.
It is my policy to record eeverysession. This provides a record of the session. After the session I send a copy of the session to you, the client. You can listen to this recording as often as you like to reinforce the suggestions given.
Services Available
I’ve found that any of the hypnosis services that I could do in an office can be done online. Someday I may find an exception to this. I’ve not yet run across such an instance. With that, here are some of the common hypnosis services that I provide online.
Weight Loss & Health Coaching
This is one of the most common services provided by hypnotists. You can read more about my approach by clicking this link.
Stop Smoking
Another popular program is smoking cessation. For more details on this program click here.
Goal Achievement
No matter what the goal, hypnosis can supercharge your mindset for success. I’ve worked with salespeople, athletes, and people from all walks of life. EEachone of them used their sessions to create a more focused vision of success.
Stress & Anxiety
Dealing with stress and anxiety can be debilitating. My approach to both of these is to resolve the issue permanently. I’m not big on providing band-aids that just cover up the problem.
Insomnia
This is a service that I’m seeing more and more often. My clients have found hypnosis a very effective solution to this challenge.
The Uses are Limitless
In addition to the above services, hypnosis offers even more options tailored to your unique needs and desires. The only limit is your imagination. If you’re not sure if hypnosis can help, I suggest calling for a free consultation.
In Summary
I hope you now realize that doing hypnosis online is a viable option. Think of it, with today’s technology you have access to a hypnotist from anywhere in the world.
If you’re looking to use hypnosis in the future I hope you’ll explore the option of online hypnotherapy. It’s effective!
