psychotherapeutic = therapeutic (semi-transparent) = psycho + therapy + ic
The word is regularly formed by adding psycho- to therapeutic, but the psycho- element is somewhat specialized and the full sense is technical.

The word psychotherapeutic breaks into psycho- meaning 'mind' and therapeutic meaning 'healing' or 'treatment'. So, a psychotherapeutic activity is like 'mind-healing', the same idea as therapy or a therapist helping with emotional or mental problems.
