For your search, take terms, close to the therapy you're interested in, from the psychotherapeutic terms and OR them with the therapy you're interested in. Then choose terms from the Outcomes terms or from the Practice terms. For instance:
(mindfulness OR "acceptance and commitment therapy")
AND ("therapeutic processes")
(couples therapy OR "emotionally focused couples therapy")
AND ("treatment outcomes")
