Itachi's Arsenal:
I'll start off my post by saying that Gaara could easily take any Uchiha, excluding those of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan status, such as Sasuke and Madara. (And Obito)
First and foremost, lets have a look at Uchiha Itachi's techniques and fighting style. (Each one Gaara has a solid counter for)
- Tsukiyomi - potential one hit K.O. ability if not broken out of
- Amaterasu - potential one hit K.O. ability, though doesn't pose a threat to Gaara
- Exceptional use of Ninja tools
- Full Susano'o
- Totsuka Blade- Possessing one hit K.O. ability
- Yata Mirror, negating all attacks
- Some of the best reaction timing
- Low stamina/chakra reserves

Gaara's Arsenal:
Gaara is one of the most versatile, if not the most versatile character in this Manga when it comes to combat, (not close combat, of course)
- Sand Manipulation
- Aerial abilities
- Reaction Timing corresponding to his sand
- Absolute defense
Not as much in his arsenal as Itachi, but his Sand Manipulation covers a large margin of combat tactics that make him tough opponent to beat.

Gaara's Counters to Itachi's Techniques:
Amaterasu, the Eternal Black flames and highest form of Katon:
Gaara has seen the Eternal Black flames, and knows how to deal with them accordingly as depicted in the scan provided above. But you're probably thinking, this is Enton... the manipulation of Amaterasu.. how is Amaterasu itself countered by Gaara of the Sand?
This Manga scan should suffice:
Amaterasu would merely be shrugged off by Gaara's sand, that simple. Amaterasu is a non-factor to be played by Itachi Vs. Gaara, it has immense side effects on Itachi's part to produce little outcome on Gaara, and isn't worth the effort. As stated before, Itachi doesn't have the chakra reserves to spam his MS tech's, especially against a power house like Gaara.
Tsukiyomi:
Would be biggest threat in this fight for Gaara, yes, Tsukiyomi. Gaara is the Kazekage and has intelligence on the Uchiha, and understand that eye contact should be avoided especially against an Uchiha of Itachi's infamous caliber.
The answer to this fight against Itachi's Tsukiyomi would simply be this:
Gaara's third eye made purely of sand, gives Gaara the ocular advantage of avoiding direct eye contact with Itachi, which essentially avoids Genjutsu as it's not biologically connected to Gaara's eyesight, merely through his chakra.
Deadly Use Ninja tools:
Not much to say on this point, merely that Gaara's sand speaks for itself:
Gaara's sand has been proven to protect him from Ninja attacks to a certain extent, anything Itachi has to throw at Gaara would be a waste of his efforts/energy, which Itachi couldn't afford to waste against a Chakra monster such as
Gaara.
Full Susano'o, Totsuka, and Yata:
Completely useless. Yes, I just called Susano'o, Totsuka Blade useless in a fight Vs. Gaara. Why? Gaara has the skies:
People might wonder if how long it takes for Gaara to go aerial. Well, it doesn't take very long at all.[
The scan depicted is located where this fight will take place, so there should be no argument that Gaara wouldn't be able to create vast amounts of sand in short amounts of time, while being on the offensive and defensive, pushing Itachi to his limits within mere minutes.

] , which gives Gaara the advantage of taking the skies and beginning his formation of chakra beneath Itachi's very foundation which he stands on:

The scan depicted is located where this fight will take place, so there should be no argument that Gaara wouldn't be able to create vast amounts of sand in short amounts of time, while being on the offensive and defensive, pushing Itachi to his limits within mere minutes.
How the fight would playout:
- First off, Gaara imediatly takes the skies, and immediately starts the process of turning rocks and minerals etc. from the ground below on the battlefield into sand he can use for offensive and defensive purposes. He doesn't want to get too close to someone of Itachi's caliber, he'd calmly analyze the situation from a distance, constantly being on the offensive and defense of Itachi's Katon and Amaterasu.
- Itachi doesn't have the chakra reserves to outlast a fight Vs. Gaara, and he certainly wouldn't have any time to safely analyze the fight like Gaara can. Itachi isn't a buffoon, he would activate Susano'o and try to end the fight before Gaara can accumulate more sand than Itachi can handle.
- Question and Answer time: Can Totsuka blade reach Gaara and does Yata Mirror help in this fight? No and no.
Itachi's Susano'o height:
Compared to how high Gaara is in this Manga scan here:
-Once Gaara is in the sky, he forms a sand dome, similar to the one depicted here, but stronger:
-The difference in height doesn't even compare. Gaara would be safe from Totsuka Blade, I am vowing it a non-factor in this debate, so I won't address it too much further.
-This is also where Gaara would form his third eye as I've talked about earlier, and can safely analyze the situation from the skies and avoid Tsukiyomi. All Amaterasu that hits Gaara's sand is simply shrugged off as Gaara forms more to utilize and re - strengthen his defenses, and I don't see Itachi using Amaterasu more than 3-4 times without being severely and heavily chakra drained.
-Yata Mirror wouldn't pose a threat, due to Gaara's unique attack style. After 3-5 minutes into this fight, Gaara would have accumulated enough sand to use amounts of this scale:
-Once we're at this point, Gaara has practically won the fight, all he has to do his pressure Itachi, draining his chakra reserves by keeping Itachi's Susano'o up. Gaara follows up the now completely sand flooded battlefield with a few sand shockwaves, weakening Susano'o after each one.
- Once Susano'o is gone, Gaara follows this up relentlessly with a sand coffin, breaking every last bone in Itachi's body. Something a near chakra drained, and near death Itachi would have no counter or defense for.

Conclusion:
Itachi is a fierce opponent to many, but someone like Gaara of the Sand has counters to many of his techniques. Gaara has an absolute defense to tank anything Itachi could throw at him. Gaara can safely avoid Tsukiyomi, and is safely out of reach of Totsuka Blade. Yata Mirror is a non factor, as Gaara's sand is versatile and attacks Itachi from all angles, throwing his Susano'o off balance and possibly disrupting his concentration, depending on how much chakra is being put into the attack.
