One effective "trick" I like to use is to record my voice counting with a steady beat for 2-3 minutes and then use that as my metronome. You can make several recordings in different tempo's and in different time signatures. Counting problems are common when you start playing.

It's kind of like using a metronome, but better because as you can hear your voice telling you where the beats start and you will begin to get the idea of how you should be counting. This suggestion has actually been an extremely good tool to use to help you get past this common issue. Good luck!
