There is not an easy way to do this. You would need to do a query for each of the values and count the posts returned. For example

// status completed
$args = array(
  'post_type' => 'your post type',
  'post_status' => 'publish', // or whatever
  // other WP_Query arguments as needed
  'fields' => 'ids', // return only post IDs, since we just need to get a count
  'meta_query' => array(
    array(
      'key' => 'your field name',
      'value' => 'complete'
    )
  )
);
$results = new WP_Query($args);
$completed = count($results->posts);
