"Is anything bothering you? You can talk to me you know" is usually my line.
I want to say this is your best bet, it's clear and concise in intent and meaning. "Are you Okay?" is as already stated a line many people expect anyone to say out of courtesy not out of geniune concern for one's person. You also have to account for the fact that some people will not open up to you just because you're not who they want to open up to, maybe they don't want to burdon you. This line addresses it directly, declaring you are open to listening. If you're really concerned about someones well being and don't want to be overbearing this is the go to line.
