I think you are making the mistake that almost everyone makes when trying to read their fluid level for the first time and I am betting that it is not over full. This isn't like checking engine oil level. The golden rule here is to pay absolutely zero attention to the highest wet mark as that is almost always NOT the fluid level.
The way to properly read the fluid is to have the vehicle sitting on level ground, running at idle and in park. Pull the dipstick and wipe it clean. Re-insert the dipstick and pull it again. Check the fluid level by looking for the LOWEST DRY SPOT on the dipstick. Wipe the dipstick clean and re-insert it. Pull it and check again for the lowest dry spot on the stick. If you repeat the measurement you got the last time, that is your fluid level.
You really want this to be low on fluid because if that isn't it you are in for a transmission repair. Advice is free and fluid is cheap. Transmission repairs are neither. That is why we always tell people to make really sure that their fluid isn't low.
If this is not a low fluid issue, the best case scenario is a loose or cracked filter. Next up would be a valve body problem and past that it's internal and time for a rebuild.
I hope it's low fluid.
