It would sometimes be difficult for Kathryn to let other people in. Afterall, she is the captain and has to put on a brave face and act strong around the rest of the crew. On top of that, she's a pretty private person to begin with so opening up to someone and accepting comfort wouldn't be her strong suit.
You'd do your best to tell her over and over again that she can trust you and open up to you, but of course you wouldn't pressure her to do so. You'd just assure her that you're there for her and that you want to help her in any way you can.
Whenever she was having a bad day, you'd make sure to check up on her a few times during your shifts. You wouldn't harass her or make her talk about what was bothering her, you'd just stop by her office with some food or with some good news from somewhere on the ship to get her mind off of her day momentarily.
After your shifts, you would invite her to your quarters where you would prepare (replicate, really) one of her favourite meals. If she wanted to eat in silence and enjoy your company, you would sit there quietly. If she wanted to talk, you'd listen. If she wanted to be distracted, you'd tell her about your day.
Once you were finished eating, you'd ask her how she was. If she was still overwhelmed or stressed, you would try to make her laugh. You'd tell her cheesy jokes and funny stories and if that didn't work, you'd turn on some music and dance around the living room badly to make her laugh. Eventually, she'd join you and dance with you, the movement and the sound of the music making her forget her worries, at least for a little while.
After dancing to upbeat music for a while, you'd tell the computer to put on something slower and you and Kathryn would slow dance together for a while. Her arms would be around you, head leaning against your shoulder. You'd hold her close as you two swayed back and forth to the slow rhythm.
