Easy to fix. She swings on a downward plane.
Place an empty tee 12 inches behind the tee with the ball and 1 inch below the bottom of the ball. Have her clip the back tee on the way to the ball. This will flatten her swing plane and she'll hit the ball in the air. All the rest will fix itself.
Make sure she drops the head of the bat to get on plane and not her hands. The hands must stay above the ball! The bat head should make the shape of the Nike swoosh.
When she starts hitting the ball deep in the outfield, drop the rear tee to 2" below the ball and the ball will start going over the fence.
This swing will get her on plane early and she'll be able to hit high velocity fastballs and be less vulnerable to off speed pitches.
All the other commentors have good ideas, but in the end, she'll be paralyzed. The problem is that she's hitting down on the top of the ball and that makes the ball go down on the ground. The fix is to hit on a flat or slightly upward swing plane and hit the ball one inch low of center to create backspin....and it will certainly go in the air.
