This is probably the best use for Ledian's talents. Focus Sash is likely to work well if you use this in UU, particularly with Agility.
Ledian has two good stats, so it may as well take advantage of them. The idea here is to switch into some special attacker and use Light Screen. Knock Off also helps. Bug Buzz is the best way to get something resembling damage out of Ledian. The last spot is a toss-up; if you actually think Ledian can survive anything, use Roost. Otherwise, U-Turn might prove handy.
Whatever.
Ledian does have some good resistances and that nice Special Defense, so, uh, this could work. Maybe. With Magneton/Dugtrio support when the walls and fast Pokémon are dead. Yeah.
Other Options
Double Team, if it's allowed.
EVs
Generally, if you're using Ledian, complement its decent Special Defense stat by pumping HP and using a Calm nature; however, do not max HP as that would give Ledian an even HP stat, causing it to faint on the second switch-in to Stealth Rock. An odd HP ensures it survives with 1 HP if it doesn't take any other damage. For the two attacking sets, use their respective Attack-boosting natures, but don't forget to avoid an even HP.
Opinion
If you're actually planning to use Ledian, then you're probably not looking to use a good Pokémon. Props to the brave people who use it, though.
Counters
"What doesn't counter Ledian?" would be a better question. And the answer is—Luvdisc, maybe.
