There's really not a big difference! ^-^ In this kind of sentence, they're basically interchangeable. In this situation, 'helpful' could be seen as emotional aid (like comforting someone when their sad), and 'useful' could be seen as something more practical, like saying you're sorry you couldn't help mow the lawn.
To simplify, think of it this way! They're basically interchangeable in this kind of situation, but 'helpful' seems more emotionally charged, and 'useful' seems more functional.
