Italicizing a word or phrase does not change the meaning -- it enhances it. Thus, "very concerned", not "very afraid". And technically, either way it would still be a colloquialism.

Italicizing a word or phrase does not change the meaning… Depends on context. Human language is extremely complex. A classic example of emphasis changing meaning– I said she stole my money. I *said* she stole my money. I said *she* stole my money. I said she *stole* my money. I said she stole my money. I said she stole my *money*.	[reply]
