Need advice on how to support trans partner.

So my partner (MtF) came out to me (CisF) as trans the other day and I have no idea what to do.
They are very early in accepting being trans and have only asked that I occasionally refer to them as they bc they aren’t ready to fully dive in to a social transition or anything else.
I love them so much and I want to support them with this but I don’t know how to at all.
I’m first and foremost worried about their safety but I’m also really excited for them to live more authentically and be happier with how they present in the world.
I am also scared of being more excited about things than they are and making a bigger deal about it than they are.

Any advice would be helpful.
We are currently in the process of finding a therapist for them and a couples therapist to help with the adjustment for both of us but I need advice from people who have transitioned on what kind of support feels like not too much so I can talk to them about it. Thanks!!!
