Dr. Rommel Johnson is a licensed professional counselor, counselor educator, and Assistant Professor. Much of his counseling work focuses on helping high school students navigate emotional challenges, develop coping skills to manage strong emotions, and prepare for greater independence after graduation.

His approach helps young people understand their feelings, recognize their strengths, and develop practical skills for everyday life. In Colors of Courage: Stories of Strength and Personal Growth, co-authored with Fanny Johnson, he brings this experience to life through relatable stories and workbook activities that support tweens and teens as they build confidence, seek support, and navigate the transition to adulthood.
