Cynthetiq is wise. Most women don't want you to fix the problem, they just want you to listen while they vent. Treat her like she's capable of taking care of herself, and be supportive if she requests help but don't try to fix everything for her. Do your best to not try to be responsible for how her life goes. She is how she is.
That said, you can say to her that you're worried that her level of stress is not healthy for her. Maleficent is on the right track with the meditation - that, and check out something called "progressive relaxation" exercises. There's also a good book called "Worry" by Edward Hallowell that has some good tips on managing anxiety.
Good luck!
