Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'therapy' (treatment) applied to a 'group' (several people) yields therapy provided to multiple people together. This straightforward noun–noun combination is cross-linguistically common and should be inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Group therapy came from the simple idea that a group of people can be a kind of therapy when they meet to talk and support one another. That's why it means 'therapy with several people who help each other'.
