In my online group, that's one of the things we call "helpy". Helpiness bears the same relationship to help that truthiness does to truth. "Common-sense" advice that doesn't address the reality of the situation is also helpy. So are aphorisms like, "They're the only family you've got" when someone has finally reached the point of thinking about getting the hell out of Dodge.
