How do I counter Leblanc?

every time I am matched with her she beats me all the time. I have tried playing some counter mages like annie anivia and Lissandra but that never works. And I am not experienced with champs like Fizz, zed, etc.

I would be happy to hear your strategies on who to pick and how to counter her. [leblanc-funny]

When you play a counter, you need to know why they counter.

For those three, I'm assuming it's because they can build item 3027 , which I've found to be a rather effective item against most assassins. They also have instant (or near-instant) stuns to lock her down when she tries to burst you.

I'd suggest you look up some Youtube videos on how to play LeBlanc well. Then practice her a bit yourself. As you do so, you'll learn how to beat her rather easily, because you'll learn her weaknesses from personally experiencing them.

To do any significant damage pre level 6 LB has two options:

She jumps with W and then goes for Q and then E. You can easily dodge E denying most of her damage just by randomly running around after her jump or position behind minions at certain range.
She Q and then W you. That works only if you in W range, which should not happen is you space properly. So whole counterplay consist of not letting her to walk up and be able to hit you with her jump to proc Q. If you do so and she goes for option 1) then you start walking into her after she missed her E and punish her, since she is on CD and can not fight back, aim to hit her on the spot she jumped from. On your back, preferably pre her 6, you buy MR part or sustain. If you still space and dodge well, she will still hit you with her W->E or W->Q->R. You have to dodge her W-E attempts or burst her if you have damage, since she will be stuck in multiple cast animations. If she will go for W->Q->R there is nothing to be done except to minimize damage with MR or sustain it, but that put her ult on cooldown, so she can't do it all time. Just don't let her land her E after W->Q->R, that will most likely kill you if you don't flash out. Also just play her for like 5 games, it's one of those champions that looks op until you tried it yourself. You can see her weaknesses pretty easy by playing her.
