Looks like the shield 2 to me.
The M&P compact is a true double stack.
But it’s silly to buy the gun because you have a single $20 mag for it.

One of the best things you can do to help with her fear of firearms is to arrange for a training session at your local range with an instructor who can help her try a few different models to see what she may be comfortable carrying.

Get her a J frame Smith and Wesson until you can get her to the range a few times.
They are idiot proof.
The 638 is a good choice.
If, after she gains confidence with the revolver, and you and her think she is ready for a semi auto, go wit her to a range that rents several different semis and let her decide.
De cocker semis are somewhat safer, but heavier.

Small 38s and 9mms kick too much for an anxious user. We all have made our own journey moving from gun to gun to find what suits us (until it changes again).
Ruger LCR 22lr will get her started. I say Ruger because the superior S&W trigger is harder to pull. And double up on ear plugs, plus muffs when shooting handguns.
If the little 22s don't impress her, they make that gun in 22mag, or even .327 which will also fire .32 S&W. Use wadcutters, not round nose. Don't do .32 H&R mags or .327 mags in that gun. Too hot for an anxious shooter.

That's a Shield 9 mag
I got my daughter a Kahr P380. It's very small and has little recoil
