She might have come from a toxic place before that has given her that mindset. Best advice is to support, but know you can’t be the one to fully change their way of thinking. Maybe asking what is going well and what things feel off? Similar questions could hopefully get them to understand nobody is out to get her. The really unfortunate thing is shutting down everytime, which makes it harder when you just want to help.
That's a strange thing to have to deal with, but it probably does have roots in her career. It's likely she worked in some places with real hardball office politics. And she still thinks everyone is a potential Machiavelli. I'm not sure what you can do about it beyond asking her about her accusations and establishing that they're baseless. At some point you may have to admit she's just not worth the time spent dealing with her issues.
