My advice is to respond by saying that you are sorry that things are so hard, mention that you are very concerned, then offer to help her to pull herself out of the rut, if she'll accept it honestly. The most that you can do through email is to offer help... you can't force help on her. Once she has accepted, though, then do all that you can to help her.
