How can I help my friend stop cutting herself?

I am scared for my friend that I recently found out cuts herself on a regular basis. I haven't seen her for over a year since she moved to Ohio but I still talk to her on a regular basis. She is already seeing a therapist for her depression. Is there anything I can do or say that will help her stop this destructive behavior?

my daughter does the same thing....she too is seeing a therapist....all you can do is be there for her when she needs a friend to talk to. support is really the best thing. just make sure she knows you care. i know nothing i or my husband have done can really help our daughter, but we are trying our best to be supportive and get her into things she likes....sports, after school clubs, etc.
