The "+1" is the US country code for US phone numbers- not for people
traveling to the US with their home phones.
Have you tried just texting her in the usual fashion? Normally, when
someone roams abroad you still call or text them in the normal fashion as
if they were home and the mobile operators figure it all out.

No- again, that would only be if she were using a local US phone. Just
pretend she never left the UK and text her as if she didn't.
