When parent-child relationships need to evolve but feel stuck

My teenage daughter and I used to be really close but since she started high school she barely talks to me, and I know this is normal but I keep trying to connect in ways that worked when she was younger and I can see I'm annoying her, but I don't know how to love her in the way she needs now.
