Hypnosis is equally effective when delivered online and when meeting with a hypnotist/hypnotherapist in person. However, the methods to induce a hypnotic state may be different, as some protocols won't work online. For example, we can hypnotize someone in under a minute by shaking their hand, but obviously we can't use that method with clients we work with online. Clients are guided through a hypnotic experience by listening to the voice of their hypnotherapist and following along. It doesn't matter if you are hearing the hypnotist's voice virtually or in person.
