I guess the easier way is to use VNC. If I am not wrong, this software 
is used to control a computer over a network, without hiding what's 
happening.
In debian, it seems the package is vnc4server. The package description 
explain that you'll need a viewer too but I can not say many more 
because I have never used such kind of softwares.

Another solution could be to use VLC, as it is able to register a 
desktop as a film and stream it on network. So, using a ssh connexion 
you could open a session on her computer and use VLC to stream your 
desktop to her.

There are probably other and more secure solutions.
