It depends what you mean by "therapy". The goals of this site are support and education. And one of the goals of support and education is to help people feel better. If they do feel better, would you say the site was "therapeutic"? Would you say I was their "therapist"?
I do think someone could be a group therapist and provide group therapy online, but that's not what I do here.
