it is usually used as a comforting phrase, accompanied by a pat on the back

It basically means, "it's ok /calm down." If your best friend just lost her job and is crying, you might hug her and sat "there, there." This phrase is often used by mothers as they try to comfort a crying baby. I would hold my son (when he was a baby), pat his back, and say "there, there," until he calmed down. It's a phrase used to show caring and offer comfort.
