If you were the supervisor, how would you handle this.

Unfortunately , real life can sometimes become overwhelming .
Some people have difficulty leaving their problems "at the door" .
Have a private meeting .
If they did quality work before these issues arose ,
Focus on that and tell them , how much the company needs it .
However , if they are unable to detach from those issues to take care of work , then perhaps a leave of absence until the issues are resolved and they can again focus on work .

Ok, this hits home. This is how I got the name Expendable.
I worked for a company for 3 years and had a perfect work record with the company. Some of my co-workers called me "Owner's Pet". Just 3 weeks after I received a substantial raise and another perfect review, I had a bad week. Not just any ol' bad week. This week could have been a movie of the week and my boss knew that things were bad VERY BAD! I had plenty of vacation time and requested time off to get things together. I was refused due to the office being too busy. (not true btw)
I kept going and finally made a small mistake and was terminated right away.
Is this fair? Sure it's fair! When we go to work we are expected to be robots at all times. No jokes (because jokes can be offensive to anyone that wants to be offended). No personal anything! EVER! Just go on and on day after day on autopilot and be the easily led automatons that we are all expected to be by our superiors. Joining the military will help get this into your head! We are all slaves to those with more and we always will be unless you are the less than 1% like Bill Gates whom found a way to tip things into his favor. Then and only then can you bring your personal stuff to work.
So go on and bury your dead family, get your cancer, have an auto accident, accidentally get burned alive. That's just life! But, don't ever EVER expect sympathy for your bad luck. Especially from your boss!
!!! Just fire him/her! You want too anyway.

If it is truly affecting their job and they are not just 'quiet' or unsociable, then the first step would be a verbal warning and then a letter outlining the reasons the job is affected but also be sympathetic to their problem and asking if there is anything that could be done to assist them in their blight. That would be fair to both parties as the burden should fall on the employee to do his best work while at work, but giving him an opportunity to get his problem solved asap.

I would ask her what the problems are, and what she can do to move ahead. Perhaps suggest she get help, or things that might solve the problems she has.

Talk to that they way you want to be treated but the minute you feel that it is too much then try to refer.
