Car trouble, possible transmission problems. Advice?

Okay, so I'm actually asking on behalf of a friend. She has a Ford Focus, not sure of the year, but I know it's at least a 2000. Last night she started having problems with it. She explained that it felt like her transmission wasn't shifting right. Like it couldn't get out of the lower gears unless she came to a complete stop.

So tell me, what could be wrong with it? I mean obviously it could be a transmission problem....but any advice that's a little more detailed? Anything else that could be wrong?

Thanks.

    I would check the transmission fluid level when it gets low they always act up get some at any auto shop or gas station. Its probably slipping. Assuming its an automatic get ATF automatic transmission fluid
