Anyone ever use hypnosis for getting rid of a bad habit?

For years, I've been a nail "picker" rather than a nail biter. It seems like when I'm stressed, I'll sit there and just pick at all of my finger nails rather than use nail clippers, which obviously leaves me with nasty looking nails. I'm to the point that I want to stop this habit as it'll look bad with patients seeing nasty finger nails on my hands as their being poked and prodded.

I've thought about hypnosis, but the things I see available to buy as a generic issue to fix centers around nail biting and not necessarily nail picking. No idea if nail biting would help me with the picking or not.

Anyone have thoughts on this?
