What is the best way to help someone who is dealing with anxiety/depression?

Sometimes I feel what I do is inadequate or awkward. I want to be there for them but I have trouble relating.
Any advice from someone who has been through this is welcome.
Thank you.

When I’m depressed the only thing I want is to know someone cares about me. Not with words but in actions. They can’t fix anything for me.
