Morphology
The phrase 'modern therapy' is directly compositional: a B1 learner who knows 'modern' (current, latest) and 'therapy' (medical/psychological treatment) can readily infer it refers to current methods of treatment. There is no idiomatic shift or metaphorical extension, and the same logic exists cross-linguistically, so the meaning is transparent.
Etymology
The term modern therapy puts modern and therapy together: modern means new ways and therapy means care to help someone feel better, so imagine a therapist replacing old tools with mindfulness, apps, or brain scans. That's why modern therapy means 'current methods to help people's mental health'.
