The fact that you did all in English suggests that you don't do it with your meetspace friends. Ask your meetspace friends.
If you want to be a coach or therapists you need to be in a position to gather clients. Empathy alone is not enough. You also need to do outreach to find clients.
I mostly agree with this.
Right now I live in a small town, and my meatspace friends don't need the particular kind of support I can offer. Outreach/community is one of the reasons, maybe the primary reason I'm considering to do studies (academic, certification or something similar).
Still, the internet seems like a viable way to connect with people.
