I found this to be
www.chessable.com/fighting-the-caro-kann/course/7181/ and affordable.
This one might be amazing but the price is out of my reach, so I can't promise anything here
www.chessable.com/the-modernized-caro-kann/course/12760/, the second one is suited more for advanced players it seems while the first one is great for beginners :) Hope this helps a bit
I see that you play the Vienna as white and the Dutch vs d4 reasonably successfully.
It's hard to get that kind of positions as black vs e4, but you could consider not blocking the c-pawn with Nc6 to get more dynamic positions. For example by playing the Petroff instead - many GMs who play the Petroff also play the Caro-Kann.
Or try the Philidor via 1...d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 e5 if white doesn't go for the ending you'll get a position with most pieces still on the board - which is kind of why people play the Dutch.
A third way is to play the Scandinavian - you'll get to the main structure of the Caro without being crushed by 3.e5 :)
@tpr I have no idea. If it doesn't work I learned a new opening and ill go back to e5. If it does work then I have an opening I like more.
St Louis Chess Club have got some good videos on the Caro from Caleb Denby. There's quite a lot of material (like, several one hour lectures) but a lot of it is analysing full games to show how the opening ideas relate to the middlegame and endgame, so it's not just reams and reams of theory.

#7 it does help for also 2000 players. =)
Schandorff's book would be my recommendation
I recommend videos from Chess Factor and Hanging Pawns on youtube.
Btw, Schandorff will soon come out with a new version of his 2010 book on the Caro-Kann. IIrc, the biggest difference will be that he recommends the trendy 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nf6!? instead of 4...Bf5.
There's also a recent book by Rambaldi, The CK Revisited which also gives 4...Nf6.
Another recent book, from 2019 iirc, The CK Modernized by Fernandez, gives the Smyslov line 4...Nd7 vs 3.Nc3, with the idea Ngf6, without having to take back on f6 with the e-pawn as in the 4...Nf6 line.
4...Bf5 is of course still a solid alternative, but it has been recommended in practically all books on the CK for the last few decades.
