Morphology
The meaning 'a form of treatment for behaviors' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'behavior' (actions/responses) with 'therapy' (treatment); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to treatment aimed at behavior. This noun+noun compound pattern is common in English and parallels constructions in many other languages, so the relation is immediately comprehensible to learners.
Etymology
Behavior therapy comes from a simple idea: the word behavior means the actions someone does and therapy means 'help', so the treatment uses rewards and small steps to teach new actions. That's why behavior therapy means a kind of help that focuses on changing actions rather than talking about the past.
