Fi makes you a good listener to those who share you values. You can actually give an echo that is related to how someone feels agent towards his situation. You may catalyze motivations like euphoria, courage, rage. They would call you empathic, even if you don't understand a thing. You have touched them, they love you.
Fe makes you a good listener to those who feel like they usually can not be themselves, can not confront their doubts, because they have to pretend to be strong. You cant produce the illusion that you feel with them, but you can make them recall who they are. You could make room for their Fi, by creating a friendly Fe space, albeit the space you create is meant for a different purpose: You want to make room so the vision of character becomes more clearly, especially if Ni is your neighbor function, you may rather dim down strong emotions, if they cause/express projections. What would be the most authentic move?
Encouraging people to be authentic is often like leaving them alone, especially if they have no chance of getting close to an authentic vision about them selves. Therefore you are not so likely to get the title of an empath (Someone who makes people feel good). But a lot of people will be thankful that they can be themselves around you.
Both sensing and extroverted intuition could try to put an emphasis on the current moment. Be more practical, focus only on the very next steps, you can do it. (whatever you feel like)
Intuition means, that you may understand what they are talking about. So yeah, if a person is in doubt about their character and way, then Intuition (but most of all experience and depth) is needed. If someone is just desperate about how he is being mobbed in school, a sensing type (of average depth/experience) might do a good job.
if you are introverted and have a wrong idea about your functions, as is common in mbti, this will not make sense to you.
if you are enfj you may relate to what i said about Fe, but you are likely able to add some superficial pretentious but functional motivational skills as well.
but enfp are the best natural motivators/catalysts, unless your Fi is so unconscious, that they start to judge you for not being motivated enough in the first place
