There are counterpicks but everyone will suffer early game. Trundle and Udyr are probably two of the best picks against Yorick but they'll still have to suck it up till they're more or less lvl 6 and get something like a Wriggles' Lantern.

Riven is one of the very few champion that can go toe-to-toe with him even very early in the game if she picks her fights well.

Irelia is also commonly said to be a counterpick to Yorick but when as a poor Irelia player I can't really tell you how she wins this lane.. I've lost my lane as Yorick against good Irelias, though.
