There are a number of ways to counter Leona. The most obvious are support that can keep her off of you, Janna has already been mentioned but also Alistar. You can also choose a carry that can poke her out of the bushes from long range, i.e. Ezreal, Kog, Corki. Dashes help a lot; even if she gets her e,q onto you, you often can dash away before she ults. Probably the least obvious way, but sometimes the most effective is to have your support disable their carry. Leona's damage isn't great without a carry to follow up, so a Taric, Lulu, or Nami disable onto their carry could actually turn the fight in your favor. One thing to keep in mind is that it is generally better for Leona to engage on you that on your support. You can't very well protect him unless you can burst their carry down really quick, but he can definitely protect you.
