My two cents
First cent: The support you get here is primarily no different than the support you'd get from your pals sitting around a table sipping coffee together. He may be Internet phobic and just not "get" that concept. I'm sure he wouldn't say you should not have supportive in-real-life friends! Heck, girlfriends have compared therapists since Freud ("Did you see his ascot today?? Eeeewww!!!!".)
Second cent: Perhaps he is concerned that the few folks here who have backgrounds as therapists will interfere with his work. From what I have seen those people are very careful not to do that. They explain concepts, offer information, and offer the same support which others here offer. I've never seen professionals here interfere with a therapist's work - unless it was to hint about actions which appeared obviously unethical to all of us - thankfully, that's been pretty rare.
