Has your daughter seen a psychologist? If she would agree to see one it may be a great help as they would help her explore why she feels it is necessary to lie. Best of luck with your situation.

Has she admitted that she knows she's lying when she's saying it? That it's not just something that comes out of her mouth then she reaslies that she's said? The first step in my opinion would be talking to her and for her to 1) realise that she's doing it and 2) try to establish why she's doing it.
