The best way, which is one of the few ways a counselor or a psychotherapist would do in their own training, is to actively listen and embody what the other person needs.

The most important thing is to show them that you are there to listen to what they have to say. Maybe they're in a situation there is nothing you or they can do about, but the support you're giving them is always helpful.

You can help people by just being there. It may not sound like a lot but to that person it may mean the world.

There are many ways you can help, you can for instance become a listener on 7cups and be there for people and listen to them, you can read through forums and give your opinion on the matter :)

There are lots of ways to help people online in need. Firstly you'd have to figure out who they are and secondly what they need help with. This is why I use 7cups. It's a convenient and wonderful site where you can help people online through a secure platform. The most important thing to consider when dealing online is, after all, security.

You could just be there for them by listening to them, talk to them... Sometimes, feeling that someone cares about you is what makes you continue in life.

There is only so much that you can do when it's someone online. If they are in immediate danger, ask them to call 911 (or their country's emergency number). Besides that, you can recommend that they talk to a listener, refer them to a suicide hotline, crisis hotline, etc., and give them other resources. There's not much more that you can do though, sadly.

It is best to let the person know that you are there, and are willing to listen to them. Here on 7 cups, we do not have much power to help them fully but by just listening, you are helping in a big way.
