This is a no brainer, but I would definately just talk with her. Just ask her why she is feeling the way she feels and why she does the things she does, and show her some understanding and love. I assume that's standard, but I don't know..

This is the kind of thing that won't work if someone really has a significant problem and the adult isn't trained to handle it. I didn't have these same issues as a child, but I was very stubborn, and no amount of talking would ever convince me to change my ways.

Sometimes a child just want to be listened to, not told to change her ways. Though that may happen as a result.
