Is online hypnotherapy as effective?
Yes. Online hypnosis works through your attention, your imagination and your own nervous system, not through being in the same room as your hypnotherapist. What guides you into a deep, relaxed state is the voice in your headphones, and that voice is just as present over a clear connection.
Research on hypnotherapy delivered by video has found results comparable to in person sessions, and many of our clients tell us they relax even more deeply at home, in their own space, with no drive before or after. If you have already read about what clinical hypnotherapy can help with, online sessions follow the very same process.
Is it safe to do at home?
Yes. Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of attention. You stay aware the whole time, you can hear everything, and you can open your eyes and speak whenever you choose. Nothing happens without your agreement.
Before your first session we confirm your location and a phone number, so if the connection ever drops we can reach you right away. If the video freezes mid session, you will simply drift in a comfortable, relaxed state and gently come back on your own, the same way you would wake from a nap.
What you will need
Setting up your space takes about five minutes. Here is everything that helps a session go smoothly.
A reliable internet connection
A steady Wi-Fi or wired connection for a Zoom video call. Sitting close to your router helps.
Headphones
Over ear or earbuds, so the guidance stays clear and close and outside sounds fade into the background.
A place you can relax
A recliner, couch or bed where you can lean back fully supported for the hypnosis portion of your session.
An eye mask, if you like
Optional, but many clients find it easier to settle in. A blanket and a glass of water are nice to have close by.
A quiet, private room
A space where you will not be interrupted for the length of your session. Silence your phone and let the household know.
A laptop or tablet
Set it up on a stable surface so we can see you during the conversation portion of the session.
How a virtual hypnotherapy session works
Free consultation
A 15 minute call with Shannon or Jennifer to talk through what you want to change, ask any questions about working online and see if it is the right fit.
Booking and forms
You choose a time on our calendar, which shows openings in your own time zone, and receive your private Zoom link and intake forms by email.
Your session
We begin with conversation, then guide you into hypnosis while you rest back in your chair, and finish with time to talk through what came up.
Between sessions
You leave with simple breathing and self hypnosis tools to keep the work going between appointments.
Working across time zones
Our practice is based in Orlando, Florida, on US Eastern Time, and our online calendar automatically shows available times in your local time zone, so there is no math involved when you book.
For clients in the United Kingdom (UK), our morning and midday sessions fall in your afternoon or early evening. Clients across Canada are within a few hours of us. If none of the times shown work for you, mention it on your consultation call and we will do our best to find a time that does.
Pricing and payment
Online sessions are the same price as sessions in our Orlando office. Your first session is two hours and is $300. Follow up sessions are $150 for 60 minutes or $225 for 90 minutes.
All prices are in US dollars. Clients outside the United States pay by card in the usual way, and your bank converts the amount to your local currency. The consultation call is always free.
Meet your hypnotherapists
You can work with either of our Clinical Hypnotherapists, in person in Orlando or online. Both use the same structured, nervous-system-informed approach, and both offer a free consultation first so you can start with a conversation.

Jennifer Adams
Jennifer is a Clinical Hypnotherapist who specializes in regression and root-cause work, helping clients understand what may be happening beneath the surface.

Online hypnotherapy questions
Does online hypnotherapy work as well as in person?
Yes. Hypnosis depends on your focus and your nervous system, not on physical proximity. With good headphones and a quiet space, online clients go just as deep, and many find it easier to relax at home.
What if my internet connection drops during hypnosis?
You will simply rest in a relaxed state and come back to full awareness on your own, like waking from a nap. We keep your phone number on file and will call you right away to reconnect and finish the session.
Can I be hypnotized over Zoom?
If you can follow a voice and use your imagination, you can be hypnotized online in a virtual session. You do not need any prior experience with hypnosis or meditation, and your hypnotherapist adjusts the pace to you.
What do I need for an online session?
A reliable internet connection, headphones, a recliner, couch or bed, a quiet private room and a laptop or tablet. An eye mask and a blanket are optional extras many clients enjoy.
Do you work with clients outside the United States?
Yes. We work online with English speaking clients in Canada and the United Kingdom as well as across the United States. All sessions are held in English and prices are in US dollars.
How do time zones work when I book?
Our booking calendar shows open times in your local time zone automatically. If nothing fits, bring it up on your free consultation and we will look for a time that works for both of us.
Is online hypnotherapy private?
Yes. Every session uses a private Zoom link created for you alone, and your information is kept confidential. We recommend joining from a room where you will not be overheard.
Do I need to book a consultation first?
We recommend it. The free 15 minute call is the best place to ask anything about working online, meet Shannon or Jennifer and make sure online hypnotherapy is right for you before you commit.
