I'd use the definite article, "in the way of her thinking," which would be quite uncommon, but would mean the same as "in her way of thinking."

"To her way of thinking," is also common, and means the same. (According to the way she thinks about this issue, it would be okay to do X.)

"In a way," is a casual expression, similar to "sort of." Do you like school?

In her way of thinking, it’s acceptable for her to borrow from you but not the other way around.-ok



In her way of thinking = In her perception, it’s acceptable for her to borrow from you but not the other way around.

In a way of her thinking =makes no sense.

So they can’t be the same.
