Paul Ginocchio

When the pain finally gets loud enough to ask for help, Paul Ginocchio is the kind of therapist people find themselves calling. Whether it’s a relationship that keeps circling the same argument, an addiction that’s been kept secret for years, or an anxiety that’s quietly taken over daily life, Paul works with the full weight of what people bring — not just the surface complaint.

A Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Danville, California, he works with individuals and couples navigating sex and relationship issues, porn and sex addiction, depression, communication breakdown, and anger. His couples work draws directly from years of training with master therapist Terry Real and the Relational Life Therapy model — a framework built around the idea that connection, disconnection, and repair are natural rhythms in any partnership, and that couples can learn to move through them with less damage and more honesty. That work gets tested in ways couples don’t always anticipate: when one partner is physically present at dinner but scrolling, or when a hard conversation gets started over text and goes sideways fast.

Paul also specializes in sexual addiction recovery, supporting both individuals and the partners affected by it. He welcomes clients of all genders, ages, and sexual identities, and offers online sessions.
