I think it totally depends on what sort of secrets they are. I mean, I would react completely differently to someone telling me, "I was in prison for the last ten years," to someone saying, "Sometimes I like to kiss girls."
I think you should probably tell this friend just what you said here. That you are a little taken aback by what she has revealed, that you want to be there for her but don't know how. Ask her what she needs or wants from you.
