"Yes this would be kinda like group therapy, without the visual cues and less facilitation."
Not having the visual interference can be a bonus, especially for someone with anxiety or a low threshold. Another bonus is being able to edit our communication. (I have chronic foot in mouth, so this helps me to use more tact.)
I don't agree with the less facilitation. Here we have such a diverse group of people that we're able to get more versions of feedback. If you're in a group (in person) I think the conversation would be somewhat stifled. Here everyone has more of an equal voice.
"More group therapy in larger centres where there are larger hosptials and/or universities or other institutiions where you will usually find such."
My town has a population of 1,000. The city has 50,000. So the population limits us. You really don't want to go into a group where so and so is related to so and so, etc.
