I would talk to them privately and direct them to guidance, which has more supports and resources than I do.  I would tell them that I was available to chat whenever they needed.

It always depends on the situation.  I’ve had students crying quietly where they excuse themselves and I speak with them after.  I’ve had students where they don’t leave, and I go and speak to them quietly or out in the hall.  I have not had anyone start bawling during class, but I am sure I would know how to react in the moment.  It is difficult to say before the situation has occurred.
