Well in order to deal with a Leona as a short range Marksman sort of falls upon the shoulder of your support. Some obviously things you have to do like not get close to a minion swarm, never let Leona stand next to you, and possibly taking cleanse because after level 6 she gets a ranged spell that's a pretty safe initation tool for her.

Being a shorter range you have a weaker zone espescially against the stronger lane kiters Ashe and Caitlyn and Leona can easily invade it and take minimal damage as she peels herself away from you and lets the Marksman do the hardwork so it really falls on the support again.

You'll want peel. If the support can't CC the Leona for attacking you and buff you in some way to preserve your escape you probably aren't going to get away very often. Nami is really good at this espescially after level six Nami has a weak zone herself though so it would be bad if she got focused on. It's also easy to dodge her bubbles in the brush.

Poke comps are good. Nidalee's spear range is a lot longer than Leona's grab range and the Bushwhack lets you have constant vision of where Leona currently stands in a bush. Zyra is also a choice in bush vision but the plants don't do enough damage to keep her from initating.

Top choice for you. Karma. You could try and get a CC skill shot support like Lux and Morganna who sort of shoot out at the bush and they will probably get her if they angle it right. Although again. You can't really focus down on Leona she's really tanky and will just charge you after getting free. Karma can constantly poke her in the bush. The snare and shield gives you the peel. Shield Q makes for an easy hit in the bush, the ult sheild lets you rush the marksman in lane, and if you get focused down on the ult snare lets you survive the initation.

Again it sort of falls on the backs of who is supporting you that day so just point out some names and hopefully it will work out. My money is one suggesting Lux or Morganna. Most people can wrap their head around those as supports.
