Why Traditional Anxiety Therapy Often Falls Short
You've probably tried traditional therapy before. Maybe you've spent months talking about your anxiety, understanding where it comes from, and learning coping strategies. While these approaches have value, they often work too slowly for people who need relief now.
The problem with traditional anxiety therapy:
Focuses only on conscious thoughts, not subconscious patterns
Takes months or years to show significant results
Teaches you to "manage" anxiety rather than eliminate it
Often creates dependency on weekly sessions
How hypnotherapy for anxiety is different:
“Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often used to reduce anxiety and stress.”
— American Psychological Association
Works directly with the subconscious mind where anxiety patterns live
Provides relief often within the first session
Teaches you self-hypnosis tools for immediate anxiety relief
Creates lasting change by reprogramming automatic responses.
You might be asking yourself: "Does hypnosis even work for anxiety?"
The answer- yes, absolutely! It's amazing to help people dramatically reduce anxiety, both in the moment, and to reduce overall anxiety. In fact, it's the number #1 reason people come to me.
And, all are thrilled by the results!

“Hypnotherapy can produce measurable reductions in anxiety after as few as 2–6 sessions.”

What Kind of Therapy is Best for Anxiety?
This is one of the most common questions people ask when searching for anxiety therapy near me. The answer depends on your specific situation, but research consistently shows that approaches addressing both conscious and subconscious patterns are most effective.
Hypnotherapy ranks among the most effective anxiety treatments because it:
Accesses the subconscious mind where anxiety responses are stored
Provides both immediate relief and long-term solutions
Works without side effects or medication
Teaches self-regulation skills you can use anywhere
Often produces results faster than traditional therapy alone
(See Alfred Barrio's meta-analysis at Harvard showing 93% improvement after just
Other effective anxiety therapies include:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - works well combined with hypnotherapy
EMDR - particularly effective for trauma-related anxiety
Exposure therapy - helpful for specific phobias. With hypnotherapy, this is done in an empowering and gentle way, helping the client develop tools that work just for them (while decreasing at a subconscious level the power that any fears holds over them).
Mindfulness-based approaches - complement hypnotherapy beautifully
The best anxiety therapy for you is one that addresses your specific type of anxiety and fits your learning style and comfort level.
What is the 3 3 3 Rule for Anxiety?
The 3-3-3 rule is one of several grounding techniques that helps interrupt anxiety spirals. Here's how it works:
The basic 3-3-3 rule: As soon as feelings of anxiety start to rise:
* Name 3 things you can see around you
* Identify 3 sounds you can hear in your environment
* Move 3 parts of your body (wiggle fingers, roll shoulders, etc.)
This easy technique works by grounding you in the present moment and interrupting the anxious thought patterns that fuel panic.
Once you've interrupted the anxious thoughts, you now have the presence of mind to use other even-more-powerful tools like self-hypnosis to stop the anxiety in its tracks and give you a sense of personal power and control over your emotions, and over the things that tend to trigger anxious thoughts and feelings.
How I enhance the 3-3-3 rule with hypnotherapy:
Teach you calming self-hypnosis
The hypnosis then decreases the power any triggers or fears used to have over you
This creates a growing sense of personal power
You have personalized grounding anchors to call on when you need them
I help you to install the healing and grounding at a deep, subconscious level, and you further enhance that through self-hypnosis
When you combine all of the above with breathing and visualization, you'll have a very-powerful combination that results in dramatically-reduced anxiety
Note: Most people find that after going through hypnotherapy, learning & using self-hypnosis techniques, then the 3-3-3 technique is far more-powerful and works much faster!
