There are MANY current uses for hypnotherapy and these uses cover a very wide variety of problems and disorders.  Many hypnotherapists advertise to the general public, and a Google search of "hypnotherapy" turns up over 4 million results.  Some hypnotherapists require a written referral, particularly if the condition has a formal medical diagnosis (E.g. Fibromyalgia, Enuresis, Alcoholism) while most indications do NOT require a referral.  In all cases, it is wise to let your primary care physician know what types of treatment you are receiving for any condition.
