Explanation at your level:

This is a very common way to be kind. When someone says sorry, you say this to make them feel better. It means 'It is okay, do not worry'.
This phrase is used to comfort people. It combines '没关系' (it doesn't matter) with '别担心' (don't worry). It is very useful in daily life when someone makes a small mistake or feels nervous about something.
This expression is a staple of Chinese social etiquette. It functions as a reassurance mechanism. By using it, you effectively neutralize the other person's anxiety or guilt. It is appropriate in almost all informal and semi-formal contexts, provided the situation is not grave.
The phrase '没关系，别担心' is a compound reassurance strategy. It addresses both the objective situation (the mistake) and the subjective experience (the anxiety). It is highly effective for maintaining interpersonal harmony, a core value in Chinese social dynamics.
This phrase exemplifies the pragmatic function of 'face-saving' in Chinese discourse. It serves to mitigate the negative impact of a social faux pas, allowing the interlocutor to regain composure. The combination of the existential negation '没关系' and the imperative '别担心' creates a comprehensive framework for emotional support.
From a cognitive linguistics perspective, this phrase functions as a social stabilizer. It maps the 'no-consequence' schema onto the 'anxiety-reduction' schema. It is a quintessential example of how Chinese language prioritizes the maintenance of social equilibrium over the literal parsing of the constituent morphemes.
