Does giving three divorces (talaq) in one sitting count as one or three? What does the Qur’an and authentic sources say about this?
The second thing is that some time ago, my husband, in a state of extreme anger, gave me three divorces in one sitting. I’m not sure whether this counts as one divorce or three. In this matter, whom should I follow, and from where should I seek guidance?
When I asked my husband, he said that he did not intend it that way , it just happened in anger and frustration. Kindly tell me what I should do and what the solution is.

He should have thought about it before uttering those words. Regardless, the divorce had occurred. The benefit of this situation was that he gave three divorces in one go and it happened a long time ago. He reconciled with you before the three months were over (before three menstrual cycles were completed). Because of this, the marriage (nikah) remained intact, but one right out of the two available divorces is now remaining.
He should be careful next time, as he doesn't have a second chance.
One should avoid all these things.
And you should not worry at all; a window of opportunity can be found."

Shia (Imami/Ja'fari Fiqh) Counts...
