Hi Andi,
Firstly you need to develop the control by blocking well. Once you have done that the counter topspin is an extension of the block. You have a little bigger backswing and follow through. Your contact is brushing. You can have your stroke go nearly completely forward because you don't need to lift the ball at all because they have already provided the topspin.
I think the best lesson for you to look at is the one on how to Counter a Slow Spinny Topspin.
