How Does Hypnotherapy Work Online on Zoom?

When the pandemic hit, everything changed. I couldn’t meet clients in person anymore, and like most of us, I had to rely on Zoom.

Full honesty: I was a technological disaster. I clicked the wrong buttons, my internet dropped out, and I thought, “There’s no way hypnotherapy can work online. It’s too personal, too deep.”

But here’s the surprise, once I figured it out, my sessions became even more effective than they had been in person.

Here’s why:

1. You’re Already Comfortable in Your Own Space - Hypnotherapy works best when you feel safe and relaxed. Nothing helps you feel more at ease than being in your own space, your couch, your chair, maybe even under your favorite blanket. When your body feels safe, your subconscious opens up naturally.

2. No Commute, No Stress - Before Zoom, clients would drive across town, deal with traffic, find parking, and rush in late. By the time we started, they were often frazzled. Now? You log in, take a deep breath, and we get to work. That means we can go deeper, faster.

3. More Privacy and Flexibility - This was an unexpected bonus. Online sessions give clients more privacy, no waiting rooms, no chance of running into someone they know, no awkwardness. Plus, scheduling is easier. People stick with the process longer, which naturally strengthens results.

Bonus: The Work Still Goes Just as Deep - Your unconscious mind doesn’t care whether we’re face-to-face or screen-to-screen. Hypnotherapy is about focus, relaxation, and guided imagery, and these work beautifully online. Many clients even find it easier to drop into deep work because they’re in a familiar, comfortable environment.

My Big Lesson: At first, I resisted online hypnotherapy because I thought it would feel less real. What I discovered is that it can actually be more powerful.
