Hypnotherapy questions

Hi y'all, my psychiatrist recommended I try hypnotherapy for anxiety, dissociative symptoms, etc. My longtime therapist (talk therapy) is also a strong believer in its benefits. She knows of one place in my city that's reputable (although I'm not sure what her sources are). I met with the hypno-doctor, and he's fine, but I don't really trust him. He said all of the sessions can be conducted via telehealth, which is helpful because I return to university in a small town next week, where there aren't many options for much of anything.

First, is he right that hypnotherapy can be conducted online, or does he just want money? Second, does anyone have any recommendations for services? I am located in Central/Upstate New York, US. Thanks.

Edit: Thank you guys, I appreciate your help and will check out the links y'all copied! And yes I agree, trust is important and I certainly don't feel comfortable giving him my money.
